A radiation dosimeter is a device that measures exposure to ionizing radiation. It has two main uses: for human radiation protection and for measurement of dose in both medical and industrial processes.
Usage examples of "dosimeter".
Specialized kinds of radiometer include the dosimeter, gamma spectrometer, and Geiger counter.
Claggett and Linley reached their rover and turned it around, they no longer bothered with their dosimeters, because once the reading passed the 1,000-Rem mark, any further data were irrelevant.
And they would have been able to do some real work up here, instead of the small-scale make-work experiments they'd had to run: monitoring herself for drug metabolism by taking saliva samples, checking for radiation health with miniature dosimeters strapped to her body, checking her respiration during exercises on the treadmill, investigating the relationship between bone density and venous pressure by wearing dumb little tourniquets around her ankle.

We issue each member of the crew with a dosimeter and periodically check a film badge for radiation dosage--which is invariably less than you'd get sitting on the beach on a moderately warm day.
On one side, high on her chest, a film badge was pinned, a dosimeter that everyone in the shelter had been instructed to wear.
They also passed a few other people, each wearing cylindrical dosimeters that served the same purpose but looked nothing like the film badges everyone sported at CERN.
His next step was to take the film out of the dosimeter he wore on his belt and prepare it for processing.
