Abstract
The aim of this study is to compare radiation dose in diagnostic X-ray radiography and calculated by different mathematical equation. The result of ESDs direct measurement and that calculated by Mori NDD-M shows the biggest difference. On the other hand, equation by Edmonds shows the lowest difference of ESDs. Also, Rectification due to the difference between direct dose measurement and calculation method commutated three-phase, single phase and inverter type, show less difference in the drive way. In conclusion, this study can be helpful for expecting radiation dose-exposure and control exposure parameters for the diagnostic x-ray radiography.
