One of us has previously described the need to derive the effective dose equivalent (H{sub E}) from monitoring badge exposures recorded for medical personnel wearing protective lead aprons during fluoroscopic or interventional x-ray procedures. The key points are repeated for background. We present a formula as a simple and practical way to monitor the effective dose when two film badges are worn. 8 refs., 2 tabs.
