Zusammenfassung: | A system and method for determining accumulated radiation dose is presented. In some embodiments, the system and method include use of one or more RADFETs to measure and accumulated radiation dose over a desired period of time from an area of interest in a patient. In some embodiments, the one or more RADFETs may be arranged on a test strip, and electrical circuitry provided to selectively couple certain terminals of the RADFETS together to facilitate improved measurement of accumulated dose. A reader may also be utilized wherein the reader may receive a test strip, decouple the electrical connections between select terminals, inject a current into the RADFET and/or measure a voltage from the RADFET corresponding to an accumulated radiation dose. |
