Re: X-ray exposures

["Gibbs, S Julian" <s.julian.gibbs@vanderbilt.edu>]

The US Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors, 
which is an organization of state radiation control 
agencies, has a publication that provides acceptable ranges 
of skin exposures for various x ray procedures:

Average Patient Exposure/Dose Guides-1992, developed by the 
Committee on Quality Assurance in Diagnostic X-Ray (H-7), 
June 1992, CRCPD Publication 92-4 ($10.00). 

See their site at www.crcpd.org

You may get some help from your state radiation control 
agency.
