1. 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 torecord 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, andreport 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;
a speech recognition module operably coupled to the exposure determination device, the 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; and
an interrogation interface operably coupled to the exposure determination device.
