Image for X-ray dosimetry

X-ray dosimetry

X-ray dosimetry involves measuring the amount of radiation dose received during an X-ray procedure. It ensures that enough radiation is used to get clear images without exceeding safe exposure levels. Dosimeters, devices worn by patients or attached to equipment, detect and record radiation doses. This process helps protect patients and staff by maintaining radiation within safety standards, reducing the risk of radiation-related health effects. Accurate dosimetry is essential for optimizing diagnostic quality while minimizing unnecessary radiation exposure.
