Dosimeters are devices which register doses of radiation. Dosimeters are typically made of small pieces of radiation-sensitive material which change colour when irradiated. By measuring the amount of colour-change by means of a spectrophotometer, the total dosage can be calculated.

A dosimeter is a device used to measure the amount of ionizing radiation. After a dosimeter is worn for a period of time, a technologist analyses it to find out how much ionizing radiation the user was exposed to.
