| Zusammenfassung: | A radiation sensor of the type that acquires a charge or voltage proportional to a dose of radiation. Upon obtaining a predetermined value to the associated voltage proportional to the dose, the voltage is caused to be discharged. A counter keeps track of the number of discharges which is proportional to the total dose of radiation to which the radiation sensor has been exposed. The radiation sensor is thereby prevented from achieving a high charge or voltage which affects the accuracy of the radiation sensor. A calculator and a clock are used to display the value of the dose in any convenient way, such as in relation to tissue dose or average dose rate for a given period of time. |
