Re: Exposure Area Product Meters in Fluoro Equipment

["Robert Gunter" <rjgunter@icnpharm.com>]

The DAP is used to determine dose to the patient.  The latest (?) Radiation
Protection Dosimetry came with a hardcover Proceedings from a Workshop on
"Reference Doses and Quality in Medical Imaging".  Therein you will find
lots of interesting info on these meters, and the doses received by
patients.

I would be interested if anyone had proceedings or references that would
indicate expected doses to the practitioners.
