Patient dose monitoring software in radiology

The basic capabilities of patient dose monitoring software (DMS) available on the world market were studied. The main technical requirements for the software functional needed in practical work were defined. Modern DMS has wide range of possibilities for automated collection, storage and control of patient radiation exposure data in radiology departments. DMS increases the quality of healthcare services, provides patient safety and optimizes workflow of medical organization.
