Yes, the integrated/accumulated dose reading stays in memory when the device is turned off.

• H_p(10) is the deep dose equivalent. It is the equivalent dose at 10 mm below a specified point of the body.
• H_p(0.07) is the shallow dose equivalent, also referred to as skin dose equivalent or surface dose equivalent. It is the equivalent dose at 0.07 mm below the surface of the body.

Currently, RadTarge II measures Hp(10). The option to switch between Hp(10) and Hp(0.07) will be added to future iterations of RadTarge II.

• NaI is easily deliquesced
• NaI is toxic
• NaI is fragile
• NaI needs to be sealed in aluminum alloy to prevent deliquescing and damage, increasing the size and weight of the detector

YSO vs. Ion Chamber:

• Ion chamber needs to be large in order to have good detection capability
• At the same size, YSO has much higher sensitivity
• Ion chamber is extremely sensitive to the environment (i.e. humidity, temperature, air pressure)
