Abstract
Estimation of entrance surface dose to patients who are examined by x-ray is of great importance in radiation protection. Where in this research, the ESDs were estimated using mathematical models. This model was applied to estimate the radiation doses on seven examinations on number of 93 patients. The results showed that there is a high amount of entrance surface doses within all examinations because of an increase in kV and mAs.
