Radiographic exposure calculator and mammographic dose calculator.
A set of dose calculators has been designed to facilitate quick and easy calculation of surface exposure (or skin dose) for routine radiography and average glandular dose in mammographic studies. Acceptance by technologists has been good, and in two inspections by the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Health Care Organizations, the calculators were deemed adequate to satisfy the diagnostic radiology standards that doses be monitored.
