Abstract:
One of the problems of radiation protection of the population is the opti mization of X-ray examinations. This consists in reducing the doses adminis tered to patients, maintaining the high quality of diagnostic information. One of the main tools for optimizing patient doses is to establish national diagnos tic reference levels for medical exposure. The paper will establish the refe rence diagnostic levels in the IMSP Oncological Institute for optimizing the procedures of radiological investigation of patients in accordance with legislative requirements.
