Abstract:
A method for measuring an imaging radiation dose, comprising the steps of:emitting radiation from a radiation source, said radiation propagating in a propagation direction;detecting said radiation with a solid-state radiation detector which allows said radiation to penetrate therethrough and which has a transmission behavior which influences the radiation penetrating through said solid-state radiation detector;disposing a radiation sensor, comprised of a radiation detector on a semiconductor base, behind said solid-state radiation detector in said propagation direction, and detecting the radiation penetrating through said solid-state radiation detector with said radiation sensor and generating an output signal from said radiation sensor dependent thereon; andprocessing said output signal in a computer dependent on the transmission behavior of said solid-state radiation detector to determine an imaging radiation dose at a location in front of said solid-state radiation detector.
