Abstract
The purpose of this study is an assessment between the measured value of the nanoDot dosimeter and the calculated value of Non Dosimeter Dosimetry-Method(NDD-M) for entrance surface dose in general radiography. Measurement and calculation of the entrance surface doses were performed for head(AP), abdomen(AP), pelvis(AP), thoracic spine(AP) and lumbar spine(AP). As a result, the relative ratios of the measured value to the calculated value were acquired 1.5-2.1 for each region. Reproducibility acquired 0.035 as a coefficient of variation.
