The ICRU proposed new operational quantities, which are defined in close relation to effective dose and absorbed dose. Most of the current personal dosemeters were designed to measure personal dose equivalents. Because of differences between the new and old quantities, the existing dosemeters may not be ideal for measurements of the new quantities, personal dose, H_p, and absorbed dose in local skin, D_{p local skin}. For photon radiation sources, we investigated relative responses of the current personal dosemeters with respect to the measurement of the new quantities. Introduction of the new quantities into practice will require some changes in practical radiation protection. A recalibration of the current dosemeters will be essential for H_p measurements in higher photon energy region (>50 keV). For lower photon energies, a redesign of specific evaluation algorithms will be necessary. For purposes of D_{p local skin} measurements the dosemeters do not require any fundamental changes.

当前的光子个人剂量对新的操作量的响应。

ICRU提出了新的操作量，其定义与有效剂量和吸收剂量密切相关。当前的大多数个人剂量仪都设计用于测量个人剂量当量。由于新量和旧量之间的差异，现有的剂量计可能不适用于测量新量，个人剂量H _p和局部皮肤D _{p局部皮肤中的}吸收剂量。对于光子辐射源，我们研究了当前个人剂量计相对于新量测量的相对响应。将新数量引入实践将需要对实际辐射防护进行一些更改。当前剂量计的重新校准对于H _p是必不可少的在较高光子能量区域（> 50 keV）中进行测量。对于较低的光子能量，必须重新设计特定的评估算法。出于D _{p局部皮肤}测量的目的，剂量计不需要任何根本性的改变。
