  Abstract

Dosimetric methods used for interventional and diagnostic radiology are reviewed and evaluated, including terms, quantities, equipment, calibration and measurements. Measurement of local skin dose and estimation of maximum local skin dose are emphasised. Aspects related to dosimetry in computed tomography and to methods of determining organ and tissue doses are not considered.
