The study was conducted to determine the patients dosimetry received in carrying out an X-ray Examination Procedure at the Perak Health Clinic. As a result of this study the Entrance Surface Dose (ESD) measurement of the procedure will be recorded. There are a number of diagnostic procedures implemented at the Health Clinic where most of the cases are for Postero – Anterior (PA) Chest imaging procedures. Therefore, dosimetry measurements for PA Chest imaging procedures will be recorded for the exposure factors used by the radiographer at the Health Clinic.
