Dosimetry is the scientific measurement, calculation, and assessment of ionizing radiation doses absorbed by materials and biological tissues. It is primarily used in fields such as radiation therapy, radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiation protection. Dosimetry plays a crucial role in ensuring that individuals receive the appropriate amount of radiation for medical treatment while minimizing exposure to healthy tissues, as well as in monitoring radiation levels in occupational settings to protect workers from harmful exposure.
