Film-badge radiation dosimeter (A non-sterile device designed to record the integrated gamma-ray, x-ray, beta particles or Bremsstrahlung dose to an individual, usually a healthcare provider, using photographic or x-ray film and filters to discriminate energy absorption characteristics, a reusable holder containing the film/filters, and a means of attaching the holder to the person. Chemical changes in the silver halide crystals in the film that result from exposure to radiation are recorded during film processing as black crystals. The radiation induced optical density in the film is proportional to the radiation exposure. It may be worn in a variety of locations to record whole-body, eye, extremity or finger exposures.)
