title: [Need for dosage control in conventional radiological examinations: analysis of absorbed dose and equivalent effective dose in thoracic and bone radiological examinations].
abstract: 581 patients referred to the Radiology Department of the University Hospital in Cadiz took part in a dosimetric study. 56.69 per 100 underwent chest X-rays and 43.20 per 100 had some type of bone X-ray examination. We have established the Dose Absorbed by the patient at the point of incidence of the direct beam and at other points of interest, such as bone marrow, eyeball, thyroid, ovaries and testicles. We also calculate the Equivalent Effective Dose (EED).
