Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A dosimeter is used to measure an individual's exposure to ionizing radiation. Radiographic equipment, which uses X-rays (a form of ionizing radiation) for imaging, necessitates the use of a dosimeter to monitor and minimize radiation exposure to the medical assistant. Other listed equipment like spirometers, ultrasound, electromyography, and Doppler devices do not use ionizing radiation, hence do not require a dosimeter.
