Another approach for linking biomonitoring data to health outcomes is to estimate external exposures that would be consistent with the measured biomonitoring data. Such approach is referred to as "reverse dosimetry." Similar to forward dosimetry, reverse dosimetry also uses pharmacokinetic models to link external exposure to biomarker concentration. The term "reverse," however, does not imply that the model input (i.e., administered dose or exposure) and output (i.e., internal tissue concentrations) are reversed. Instead, reverse dosimetry uses other statistical and computational tools to reverse the relationship of external-to-internal measure of exposures. 1, record 1, English, - reverse%20dosimetry

At the individual level, reverse dosimetry is referred to as dose or exposure reconstruction. At the population level, reverse dosimetry is incorporated with probabilistic data regarding exposure patterns and pharmacokinetics, it is referred to as "probabilistic reverse dosimetry.

Biological radiation dosimetry. Some effects of A-bomb radiation are "recorded" in blood cells and tooth enamel and can be measured even now. Such measurements allow scientists to better estimate the doses of radiation received by individual survivors. 2, record 2, English, - biological%20radiation%20dosimetry

DOSTEL as a telescope is used for the measurement of time dependent LET [Linear Energy Transfer] spectra separately for galactic cosmic particles and trapped particles in different directions at defined shielding locations. DOSTEL is used as reference instrument for the MDUs [Mobile Dosimetry Units]. The MDUs are designed as small lightweight personal dosimeters but may be used also at different locations inside the spacecraft. The measurement set is completed by an onboard small compact TLD-Reader [Thermoluminescence Dosimetry] for the study of spatial distribution and time dependence of absorbed doses and for neutron dose measurements. The whole dosimetry set shall be used for routine environmental, individual and EVA [Extra Vehicular Activity] dosimetry. The single detector systems complement each other in their recording characteristics. 3, record 3, English, - dosimetry%20telescope
