Elles représentent le fondement de la dosimétrie quelque soit la technique de mesure employée. La diversité des différentes « entités doses » proposées explique la confusion du clinicien et du radiologue. Schématiquement on peut décrire sur l'axe de propagation des rayons X depuis la source du rayonnement X jusqu'au patient : la dose dans l'air correspondant à la dose évaluée en un point du faisceau en dehors du patient; le produit dose surface, qui est le produit de la dose moyenne absorbé dans l'air à la section droite du faisceau par la surface de cette section; la dose d'entrée, dose évaluée à l'entrée du patient (elle correspond à la dose absorbée au point d'intersection de l'axe du faisceau et de la peau du patient : elle représente donc la dose dans l'air à ce point, à laquelle vient se rajouter le rayonnement rétro-diffusé lié au patient); la dose moyenne délivrée à un organe. 2, record 9, French, - dose%20dans%20l%27air

The determination of radiation dose is a two-part process. First, a measurement is made, using, for instance, a dosimeter, a urine specimen or an air sample. Second, this measurement is used in a "dosimetric model" to calculate the dose, usually the effective dose or a conservative estimate of this quantity. Dosimetric models may be simple, as in the case of external gamma exposure, where a dosimeter reading is converted to dose by means of a simple conversion factor. For bioassay, however, the conversion of a urine measurement to a dose requires knowledge of the metabolism of the radionuclide, the time and route of intake, and several other factors. 1, record 19, English, - dosimetric%20model

Pour déterminer les doses de rayonnement, on procède en deux étapes. À l'aide d'un dosimètre, d'un échantillon d'urine ou d'air, par exemple, on prend d'abord une mesure qui sert ensuite de «modèle dosimétrique» pour calculer la dose. Cette dose est normalement la dose effective ou un calcul estimatif prudent de cette valeur. Les modèles dosimétriques peuvent être simples, comme dans le cas des expositions externes gamma où l'on multiplie le relevé du dosimètre par un facteur de conversion pour le convertir en dose. Dans le cas des biodosages, cependant, la conversion de la mesure de l'échantillon d'urine en dose exige une bonne connaissance du métabolisme du radionucléide, de l'heure et du cheminement de l'incorporation, ainsi que de plusieurs autres facteurs. 1, record 19, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20dosim%C3%A9trique
