Sammanfattning	Dosimetry measurement is the experimental quantification of radiation dose and exposure, originating from Röntgen and Becquerel's 1890s discoveries. It employs specialized detectors (ion chambers, TLD, Geiger counters) to measure photon and particle energy deposition in biological tissue or materials, providing direct evidence of exposure for worker protection, patient dose verification, and environmental monitoring.	Radiation protection optimization is a systematic approach to design and manage exposure reduction strategies using risk-benefit analysis, codified by the ICRP in the principle of As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) in 1977. By balancing radiation dose reduction against cost, effort, and societal benefit, it guides practical protection decisions in medical imaging, occupational settings, and environmental remediation.
