Le gammamètre indique le débit de dose qu'une personne reçoit. Il s'agit d'un renseignement crucial pour tous les opérateurs. Si ce dispositif peut permettre d'éviter l'irradiation excessive qui peut résulter de fortes intensités de rayonnements, il indique aussi le débit de dose à partir duquel l'opérateur peut effectuer certains calculs très utiles en se basant sur les lois physiques des rayonnements. 2, record 3, French, - gammam%C3%A8tre
