Abstract

|
The medical diagnostic examination using ionizing radiation has improved the patients’ life and brought revolution in medical examination along with the mechanical development. However, the development of medical imaging systems has also been the reason to increase the patients’ exposure for ionizing radiation. ICRP recommends that each country adopts diagnostic reference levels depending on regional and national situations. The Korea Food & Drug Administration suggested the dosimetry measurement guideline for patients in 2007. Nonetheless, in reality, it is hard to know the skin dose of the patients when applying a x-ray since there is no radiation dosimeter in most of clinical situation. Therefore, this study sets a program based on the bit system to figure out easily the skin dose of a patients using MS Excel program in the PC setting. The results showed 10% better outcome.
