Program Area Committee (PAC) 6 of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements provides guidance for radiation measurements and dosimetry--one of the most fundamental scientific areas of the Council's expertise. Seminal reports published by PAC 6 over many decades have documented the scientific and technical foundations of radiation measurements and dosimetry for generations of radiation scientists and radiation protection professionals. Ongoing work of PAC 6 is driven by advancing technology, such as development of new types of instruments, biodosimetry and nanotechnology; by evolving understanding of radiation hazards, such as effects on the lens of the eye and risks as from some high-dose medical imaging procedures; and by new situations faced in the modern socio-political environment including radiological and nuclear threats. The activities of PAC 6 are intended to formulate and document the dosimetric framework for radiological science to address these ever-emerging challenges.
美国国家辐射防护与测量委员会的项目领域委员会（PAC）6为辐射测量和剂量学提供指导，这是该委员会专业知识中最基础的科学领域之一。几十年来，PAC 6发表的开创性报告为一代又一代的辐射科学家和辐射防护专业人员记录了辐射测量和剂量学的科学技术基础。PAC 6当前的工作受到技术进步的推动，例如新型仪器的开发、生物剂量学和纳米技术；对辐射危害认识的不断演变，如对眼睛晶状体的影响以及一些高剂量医学成像程序带来的风险；以及现代社会政治环境中面临的新情况，包括放射性和核威胁。PAC 6的活动旨在制定并记录放射科学的剂量学框架，以应对这些不断出现的挑战。
