Abstract: Training on the assessment of radiation dose due to exposure to radiation to the body of radiation workers focused on important contents such as ; measurement of internal radiation dose in the body by direct and indirect monitoring methods, uncertainties and performance test, and practice on sample preparation and measurement to determine the amount of radiation received into the body.
Direct measurement is used to measure the radiation emitted from the body, where the radiation source is inside the body and the measuring probe outside the body. Indirect measurement is used to measure radiation dose from a biological sample excreted from the body or other biological samples to estimate the amount of radioactive substance within the body. By taking both direct and indirect measurements, it is possible to estimate the radiation dose received into the body and can be calculated as committed effective dose.
