Description
With the aim of optimisation of the radiographic examinations in paediatric radiology the entrance surface doses measured by chest examinations, as the most frequent procedure for children in Slovakia were surveyed. In this paper the results of measurements and calculations of doses obtained by paediatric patients with ages ranging from newborn to 15 years, who undergone chest radiodiagnostic examinations during the year 1996 are presented.. The obtained results are compared with dose assessment procedures based on total absorbed dose calculations using the published conversion factors between energy impaired to the patient and and entrance surface doses integrated over the beam area
