Measuring the invisible: how internal dosimetry shapes radiation protection

Protecting radiation workers means accurately measuring their exposure—but there's a catch. You can't see radiation, and the models scientists use to calculate internal dosimetry aren't perfect. According to Physics World, assessing how much radiation someone has absorbed involves working with limited data, imperfect models, and variations in how different labs approach the problem. The result: expert judgment is essential to make sense of the numbers. It's a reminder that sometimes the most precise measurements require the most careful interpretation.
