Abstract
Although maximum exposure limits are not listed for radiologic examinations, a study conducted by the United States Government has determined the average values for ten selected radiologic examinations. This study entitled Nationwide Evaluation of X-ray Trends (NEXT) can be used as a guide to determine if your x-ray department meets these criteria. Recommendations are made for the reduction of patient exposure in the event that the Entrance Skin Exposure Guides (ESEG) are exceeded. The ESEG's are a direct result of the NEXT study.
