Abstract: Methods and computing apparatus for implementing a radiation dosimetry process. An example process may include exposing a first radiation sensitive film to a series of known doses of radiation, measuring a first set of radiation data with a measurement device, and determining a calibration curve. The calibration curve may be determined by selecting Raman spectral ranges based on the first set of radiation data, determining a plurality of band area ratios, and generating the calibration curve based on plotting the band areas and ratios compared to known dose. The radiation dosimetry process then exposes a second radiation sensitive film to an unknown dose of radiation, measures a second set of radiation data for the second radiation sensitive film with the measurement device, and determines a dose exposure level for the second radiation sensitive film by comparing the second set of radiation data with the calibration curve.
