56. An implantable radiation sensing transponder, comprising:
-
an x-ray radiation sensor device operable to detect a transcutaneously received x-ray radiation stimulus; an exposure determination device including one or more memory devices having radiation exposure information stored thereon, the exposure determination device configured to record cumulative exposure information based on the transcutaneously received x-ray radiation stimulus, compare at least one measurand output from the x-ray radiation sensor device indicative of the x-ray radiation exposure event to the radiation exposure information, generate user-specific lifetime exposure data based on the comparison, and report one or more parameters from the user-specific lifetime exposure data when the transcutaneously received x-ray radiation stimulus meets or exceeds a target range; and an interrogation interface operably coupled to the exposure determination device. - View Dependent Claims (57, 58, 64, 66, 67, 68, 71, 72, 73, 74, 76, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 84, 85, 86, 89)

90. A system, comprising:
-
an x-ray radiation exposure information generator including one or more sensors that generate x-ray radiation exposure event information associated with at least one in vivo detected x-ray radiation exposure event; a telematic x-ray radiation exposure reporter including one or more interrogation interfaces configured to transcutaneously transmit one or more parameters associated with the x-ray radiation exposure information; and a speech recognition module including circuitry that causes the system to change between a transmit state and a receive state responsive to one or more audio inputs. - View Dependent Claims (93)

96. A telematic x-ray radiation monitoring method, comprising:
-
generating, via an indwelling x-ray radiation sensing transponder, x-ray radiation dose information associated with at least one in vivo detected x-ray radiation exposure event, the radiation dose information including at least one of organ-specific average dose data, organ-specific average conversion dose data, organ-specific equivalent conversion dose data, or radiation-type-specific weighting factor data; and transcutaneously transmitting one or more parameters associated with the x-ray radiation dose information. - View Dependent Claims (97, 98)
