Abstract
An embodiment of an active dosimeter system for detecting and communicating a radiation dose in real time is described that comprises a peripheral detector configured to be worn on an extremity or a head region of a user that includes a radiation sensor to detect ionizing radiation; a processor to determine a level of the ionizing radiation; and a wireless device to send a transmission comprising the detected level of the ionizing radiation; where the determination of the level of ionizing radiation and the transmission occur in real-time; and a receiver located in close proximity to the user that receives the transmission, and comprises an interface that informs the user of the detected level of the ionizing radiation.
