29、 the public is exposed. The reduction in the exposure received by PATIENTS undergoing MEDICAL RADIOLOGICAL EXAMINATIONS or procedures has therefore become a central issue in recent years. The purpose of routine measurement of DOSE AREA PRODUCT is to help in achieving an overall reduction in the radi
30、ation received by PATIENTS undergoing MEDICAL RADIOLOGICAL EXAMINATIONS. Provided adequate records are kept, it is possible to determine patient doses, to compare different examination techniques, to establish a technique giving minimum radiation to a PATIENT, and to ensure a maintenance of that tec
31、hnique; in this respect, such measurements have a place of particular importance in training establishments. Examination of records may also indicate a deterioration in the efficiency of the image-production system. special requirements laid down in this International Standard. DOSE AREA PRODUCT MET
