The full form of SRD in Medical is Self-Reading Dosimeter. It is also known as Quartz Fiber Dosimeter, and these are pen-like devices that measure the cumulative doses of ionizing radiation received by the device. The device is clipped to a person’s breast pocket. The usage of Self-Reading Dosimeters has reduced, and electronic personal dosimeters are now replacing them. The dosimeter is of great help to people who are often exposed to ionizing radiation. This includes health workers in CT Scan Rooms, PET SCAN Centers and X-Ray centres.
Another full form of SRD is Sodium-Restricted Diet. This is a dietary recommendation to avoid the chances of strokes, renal failure and heart attack. The doctors may impose these restrictions on the patient depending on the condition. So if you have any renal condition or are hypertensive, you should be on a sodium-restricted diet.
