    Review points
    • Determination of contamination level often most
    important measurement in medical emergency setting
    Usually done with GM probe called pancake detector
    •Identification of radioactive material typically done by
    relatively sophisticated lab equipment (gamma- or alpha-
    spectrometer) Samples collected from patient or clothing
    often used for analysis
    • Instruments to measure accumulated dose
    commonly referred to as dosimeters, worn by person to
    measure accumulated individual dose. Two types
    normally used: direct read-out devices (pocket
    dosimeters) and indirect TLDs & film badges
