  "definition": "1. An instrument to measure dosage; many so-called dosimeters actually measure exposure rather than dosage. Dosimetry is the process or technology of measuring and/or estimating dosage.\n\n2. A personal radiation monitoring device that measures an individual’s accumulated radiation exposure. Active dosimeters feature a digital display and provide real-time dose readings and alarm when safe thresholds are exceeded. Passive dosimeters accumulate exposure data over time and do not provide instant readouts; instead, they are sent to a dosimetry laboratory for processing.",
