[Analysis of errors in the determination of the collective equivalent dose in x-ray diagnostic studies]

The paper is devoted to an analysis of random errors in the determination of a collective effective equivalent dose resulting from radiodiagnostic investigations. The error of a collective dose does not exceed 30% and hardly depends on dose errors in human organs and tissues. The authors have established an extent of overestimation of the risk of long-term radiation effects in patients after x-ray investigations.
