Abstract
In this study, we investigated the conditions used in setting the recommendation level of general radiography diagnostic reference and tried to evaluate the effective dose and biological evaluation using PCXMC v2.0 program. As a result based on the effective dose of male in ICRP 60, the highest Pelvis AP was 0.794 mSv. The lowest Chest PA was 0.050 mSv. In the case of ICRP 103, the highest T-Spine AP was 0.906 mSv The lowest Chest PA was 0.052 mSv. For 40 years old male and female adults, effective doses of general radiography were evaluated and even if the medical exposures are not subject to the limit of dose, efforts should be made to reduce the medical exposures of the people by keeping the dose below the recommended amount in order to minimize the probable effect of radiation hazard.
