[Characteristic evaluation and clinical usefulness of dose area product meter at radiography].

Philips DigitalDiagnost, a digital radiographic system mounting flat panel detector (FPD), can display dose area data (DiDi dose) calculated by examination parameters. We evaluated its fundamental characteristics and compared the values of DiDi dose andactual measured data obtained by the area dose product meter (PD-4100L). Tendency of varied values of mAs, X-ray tube values and exposure area from both the area dose product meter and the DiDi dose were coincided.
