Abstract
The calculation of effective dose requires knowledge of the doses to 22 organs of the human body. Such information is not usually available for medical exposure of patients in a radiology department. This report provides data which can be used to estimate effective dose from quantities that can easily be measured in an x-ray room. Conversion coefficients have been calculated for the derivation of effective dose from measurements of entrance surface dose and dose-area product for 68 radiographic projections, and from measurements of the total dose-area product for 9 types of complete x-ray examination. Organ doses normalised to dose-area product and entrance surface dose for all 68 radiographic projections are available on computer disk in the related software report NRPB-SR262. (Author).
