Resumo

To support radiation control programmes in Diagnostic Radiology facilities (medicai and dental) carried out by health authorities a computer data base is under development. During lhe SUlVeyS, we coIleet data for the institution. X-ray equipment, frequency of examination and many other parameters related to the exposure of the patient. the staff and the publico The whole routine work to process the input data from the SUlVeyS and to compare the assessed values of singIe parameters with acceptance values is done by a microcomputer IBM-PCjXT compatible equipment. Regional programmes generate input files to the national data base. Thc data assessed by such a software are an important part of the system of dose Iimitation. SUlVeys at regular intelVals will give the trends in population and occupational doses due to radiodiagnostics and will evaluate the efficacy of the overall programme of radiation controI.
