Chest X-rays of newborns in a medical facility: variation between the entrance skin dose measurements using the indirect and direct methods for clinical dose audit

ConclusionThe 75th percentile ESD was the highest compared to the American College of Radiology –American Association of Physicists in Medicine–Society for Pediatric Radiology (ACR–AAPM–SPR), European Commission (EC) and United Kingdom (UK) reports. Comparison of both methods for assessing ESD was within 40% as compared to other studies. Based on the above results, the indirect method can be implemented for clinical dose audit.
