The electronic personal dosimeter (EPD) is a modern electronic
They are typically worn on the outside of clothing, such as on the chest or torso to represent dose to the whole body. This location monitors exposure of most
These are especially useful in high dose areas where residence time of the wearer is limited due to dose constraints.
PIN dosimeter
PIN diodes are used to quantify the radiation dose for military and personnel applications.
MOSFET dosimeters
MOSFET dosimeters [1] are now used as clinical dosimeters for radiotherapy radiation beams. The main advantages of MOSFET devices are:
1. The MOSFET dosimeter is direct reading with a very thin active area (less than 2 μm).
2. The physical size of the MOSFET when packaged is less than 4 mm.
3. The post-radiation signal is permanently stored and is dose-rate independent.
