A member asked:
Can you tell me how is a person's exposure to radiation routinely checked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No routine check: People at risk for radiation exposure usually wear badges. If you were not wearing a badge, you can test your white blood cells for radiation damage. This is not cheap or routine though.
