Dose Field

The dose field is one of the key concepts in radiation medicine and nuclear weapons physics. It describes the spatial distribution of radiation doses or dose rates in an irradiated object, for example, in the human body or in the zone of a nuclear explosion.

The dose field plays an important role in determining the total radiation dose that a person or object receives. In this case, it is necessary to take into account not only the total dose, but also the distribution of the dose over different parts of the body or area of ​​irradiation. This is important in order to avoid damage to healthy tissues and organs, as well as to avoid possible complications after treatment.

In radiation physics, the dose field is used to determine the distribution of radiation dose in space. This allows you to determine the optimal location of radiation sources to achieve maximum effectiveness of treatment or destruction of the target. In nuclear physics, the dose field is also used to calculate the parameters of nuclear explosions and assess the consequences for the environment.

To describe the dose field, various parameters are used, such as dose, dose rate, dose density and others. Dose is the amount of energy absorbed by a biological tissue or substance. Dose rate is the rate of dose change over time. Dose density is the ratio of the dose to the volume of the irradiated object.

Measuring the dose field is an important step in radiation therapy, nuclear medicine and other fields involving the use of ionizing radiation. Various methods are used for this, including dosimeters, X-ray technology, computed tomography and others.

It is important to note that the dose field can be dangerous to human health, especially if radiation sources are used incorrectly. Therefore, it is necessary to observe all precautions and safety rules when working with radiation sources.

**Dose Field** - Spatial distribution of dose or dose rate in the test area and in irradiated areas.

Dosemetry aims to quantify the absorbed energy of radioactive radiation. To measure the value of absorbed energy, methods are used that boil down to the fact that radioactive radiation is absorbed as it
