title: A simple, cost-effective method for determination of entrance skin exposure for diagnostic radiology examinations.
abstract: We devised a simple method using inexpensive instrumentation for determination of accurate levels of radiation exposure. The method can be used by technologists in small hospitals, private practices, and other facilities that do not employ full-time or consulting physicists to provide these data.
