PATIENT DOSE IN DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY
ALAIN NOEL
One of the basic principles, stated explicitly in Article 4 of the EC Council Directive 97/43 Euratom, is optimization. This means that all radiological examinations should be performed with a dose that is As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA principle applied to the protection of the patient) in order to obtain the required diagnostic information. Therefore, dose needs to be determined with the relationship between image quality and dose always kept in mind. In this paper, radiation quantities and units to report patient doses in diagnostic radiology will be identified.
Palabras clave: Ionisation Chamber; Patient Dose; Dose Area Product; Collective Dose; Entrance Surface Dose.
