Patient exposure from diagnostic x rays: an analysis of 1972-1974 NEXT data. Final report 1 Oct 72--30 Aug 74
Description
The Nationwide Evaluation of X-Ray Trends (NEXT) program has obtained data from various States on the physical factors related to patient radiation exposure from 12 common diagnostic radiological projections. Survey data from October 1, 1972 to September 30, 1974 were analyzed (n = 5345). All data were collected before the effective date of the FDA Standards regulating medical x-ray machines. For each projection, data were examined for exposure, beam area/film area, and exposure area product delivered to a standard patient. These values were examined for significant differences among various types of facilities and classes of operators
