It's a tiny little transistor that serves as a detector
That is an "A-10 Warthog" firing its 30-mm cannon. If there is DEPLETED URANIUM coming out of that cannon, the pilot gets "areosolized DU". Do you know where Dr. Wheeler would have to implant his junk to quantify what is in that pilot's lungs?
The only way to do what Dr. Wheeler claims is called a "FULL BODY SCAN" at www.lanl.gov. And I do not know how sensitive the "tiny little transistor that serves as a detector...." is. We would have to put alpha particles in warm cadavers' soft lung tissue with mucus to find out!!! Now that is good science!!!
Dose Verification System = "...implanted dosimeter has a tiny little transistor that serves as a detector...."

Font Size: If you or someone you love is fighting cancer, chances are they may be getting radiation treatment. At least 50% of all cancer patients receive radiation.
New technology is helping doctors with dosing, and the only place you can get it is right here in Michiana.
The new technology is called DVS, which stands for Dose Verification System.
It's an implanted dosimeter that allows doctors to measure the exact amount of radiation a patient is getting.
Goshen Center for Cancer Care was the first in the state to use it.
“It works like the I-Zoom works, and that is if a magnetic field passes over a looped coil, like an antenna wire, it generates an electric current and that's what turns the devise on,” says Dr. James Wheeler from the Goshen Center for Cancer Care.
The latest tool in the fight against cancer is a dosimeter that tells doctors immediately how much radiation a person receives.
“If we see that the dose is wrong, then we can take steps to correct that,” says Dr. Wheeler.
This is an important advancement for patients like 52-year-old Sher Gunden king of Goshen, who had a lumpectomy in September after finding out she had breast cancer.
Every Monday through Friday for six weeks, Sher will get radiation.
She's the first breast cancer patient in the state to take advantage of DVS.
“I’m getting a true, accurate dose and that's comforting to me,” says Sher.
As Dr. Wheeler mentioned, it works much like an I-Zoom.
“It’s like a fancy transistor. It's a tiny little transistor that serves as a detector,” he says.

I worked for INTeL in Santa Clara #2 (SC2)in 1978. SC1 is where the microprocessor was invented and Andy Grove made Motorola look very stupid. So the Pentagon bought INTeL chips and not Motorola chips.

I was invited to work in the "WHITE ROOM" at 1978 INTeL. Who wants to work by looking through a microscope to inspect all those leads to a multi pin out.
My guess is “It’s like a fancy transistor. It's a tiny little transistor that serves as a detector,” is about 80% engineered and does not detect alpha particles in "A-10 Pilots' lungs!!!
The State of Wisconsin State Radiation Inspector had to pount his detector at his tungston block on my copper targen. My 60,000-volt power supply had to work till his inspection for radiation was finished. I only had to run my High Voltage Power supplly once for the Wisconsen Inspector. And I passed with compliments from that Wisconsin inspector
