[0046] Step 11: Obtain radiation signal detection data from at least one set of detection points within a preset range around the location of the radiation source in the radiation field;
[0047] Step 12: Determine the type of radiation source based on the radiation signal detection data from at least one set of detection points;
[0048] Step 13: Input the radiation signal detection data into the target radiation source intensity determination model corresponding to the radiation source type to determine the radiation source intensity, obtain the location of the radiation field γ hotspot, and output it.
[0049] This embodiment of the invention acquires radiation signal detection data from at least one detection point within a preset range around the location of a radiation source in a radiation field; determines the type of radiation source based on the radiation signal detection data from the at least one detection point; inputs the radiation signal detection data into a target radiation source intensity determination model corresponding to the radiation source type to determine the radiation source intensity, obtains the location of the γ-hotspot in the radiation field, and outputs the result. This allows for the detection of multiple detection points in the radiation field, analysis of data to determine the type of radiation source, selection of a model, and rapid calculation of the distribution and dose level of γ-hotspots in the radiation field through a program. It enables efficient and economical determination of the distribution and dose level of γ-hotspots in the radiation field, thereby reducing radiation exposure to personnel.
[0050] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 12 may include:
[0051] Step 121: Based on the radiation signal dose rate represented by the radiation signal detection data of the at least one set of detection points and the location of the detection points, a radiation signal distribution trend map is drawn;
[0052] Step 122: Determine the type of radiation source based on the radiation signal distribution trend map.
[0053] In specific implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, if the isodose rate line in the radiation signal distribution trend diagram is a parabola with the focal point on the opposite side of the radiation source location, the radiation source type is determined to be a line source.
[0054] In specific implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, if the isodose rate line in the radiation signal distribution trend diagram is a parabola with the focal point on the same side as the radiation source, the radiation source type is determined to be a line source.
[0055] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 13 may include:
[0056] Step 131: Obtain the target radiation source intensity determination model corresponding to the radiation source type. The target radiation source intensity determination model is a target function obtained by fitting the radiation signal dose rate change function formed by historical detection data from multiple historical detection points and the theoretical function formed by theoretical source strength data.
[0057] Step 132: Analyze the radiation signal detection data using the objective function to determine the location of the γ hotspot in the radiation field.
[0058] like Figure 4 As shown,
[0059] The objective function is: f(l,r)=[f1(i,j) / f2(i,j)]*f2(l,r); where f1(l,r) is the radiation signal dose rate change function formed by historical detection data, f1(i,j) is the detection data of a detection point, the position of which is represented as l=li,r=rj; f2(l,r) is the theoretical function formed by theoretical source strength data, and f(l,r) is the objective function.

[0069] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 132 may include:
[0070] Step 1321: After fixing the value of l or r, obtain the similarity between the function formed by the radiation signal detection data and the target function;
[0071] Specifically, the similarity between the function formed by the radiation signal detection data and the target function can be calculated through the following process:

[0075] There is a corresponding relationship between distance and similarity. For example, if the distance is within a first preset range, the corresponding similarity is S1, and if the distance is within a second preset range, the corresponding similarity is S2. Distance and similarity are inversely proportional, that is, the smaller the distance, the greater the similarity, and the more similar they are; the larger the distance, the smaller the similarity, and the less similar they are.
[0076] Step 1322: If the similarity is greater than a preset value, the dose rate exceeding the limit range in the objective function is determined as the location of the radiation field γ hot spot.

Under the assumed source strength, with l or r fixed, the source strength under the current conditions best matches the theoretical function and the detection function.
[0078] The objective function is determined by the source strength, the dose rate value at each location is obtained, and the location of the γ hot spot is determined according to the set limit value.
