    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Radiology
    • Radiation Dosimetry

    Context:

    • X-ray examinations involve inherent radiation exposure risks.
    • Accurate dosimetry is crucial for patient safety and effective treatment planning.
    • The benefit-injury concept guides risk-benefit analysis in medical imaging.

    Purpose:

    • To establish a quantifiable approach for defining permissible errors in mean organ doses.
    • To provide a benchmark for developing accurate mean tissue dose determination methods.
    • To integrate the benefit-injury concept into radiation dose assessment.

    Summary:

    • An approach is presented to substantiate permissible errors in mean organ doses during X-ray procedures, utilizing the benefit-injury concept.
    • The study demonstrates that methods for determining mean tissue doses should target a mean quadratic error of +/- 30%.
