Table23-7 summarizes the characteristics of the various personnel monitoring devicesdiscussed above.Common problems associated with dosimetry include leaving dosimeters in a radiationfield when not worn; radio nuclide contamination of the dosimeter itself; lostand damaged dosimeters; and not wearing the dosimeter when working with radiationsources. If the dosimeter is positioned so that the body is between it and theradiation source, the attenuation will cause a significant underestimation of the trueexposure. Most personnel do not remain in constant geometry with respect to theradiation sources they use. Consequently, the dosimeter measurements are generallyrepresentative of the individual's average exposure. For example, if the film badge isworn properly and the radiation field is multidirectional or the wearer's orientationtoward it is random, then the mean exposure over a period of time will tend to bea good approximation (±1O% to 20%) of the individual's true exposure.23.3 RADIATION DETECTION EQUIPMENT INRADIATION SAFETYA variety of portable radiation detection instruments are used in diagnostic radiologyand nuclear medicine, the characteristics of which are optimized for specificapplications.
