RE: question concerning stress tests



>If this idea caught on, it could be the start of a new kind of

dosimetrist.  Working in Dx imaging, this person would maintiain dose

information in the patient's chart and advise the physician on doses and

potiential dose effects prior to imaging procedures.  I think its a good

idea but I suspect that most physicians would not agree. 



Any competent physicist or health physicist in the hospital could do

this easily, given the easy lookup resources available. No one would

have to fund a new position. It would be easy to keep cumulative

records, just for physicians to be aware of when ordering tests.
