Variabilities in X-ray diagnostic reference levels

European Radiology, 2020
To estimate the variability of X-ray diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) depending on the number of X-ray devices and data per device.Dose-area products (DAP) were collected by the national nuclear control agency from the 590 devices installed in 345 medical centers in the country. From 2015 to 2017, the number of chest (postero-anterior (PA) view alone,
