A device for measuring xray dose is called a Dosimeter, of which there are various types:

Quartz Fibre Dosimeter - uses a small charged quartz fibre, which discharges in the presence of ionising radiation - this movement can be read against a scale.

TLD - Thermo Luminescent Dosimeter. These are the like the film badges radiation workers use, but need specialist equipment to read the dose.

Electronic Dosimeter - based on GM (Geiger-Muller) tubes. Output usually fed to a counter.

Ionisation Chamber - good for calibrating equipment. Ionised gas in a given volume is meaured by passing a current. Current is a measure of the dose.
