Abstract
The dosimetric information takes a more and more important place in the diagnostic application of ionizing radiation (radiology and nuclear medicine) and several regulatory texts make obligation to address or report such information. This one must be adapted to the context (quality control, risk assessment…). Also a large number of quantities, measured or calculated are available, depending on the domain (radiology, CT or nuclear medicine) but also the context. In practice if the professionals directly involved (radiologists, nuclear physicians, radiographers, physicists…) are familiar with these quantities it is different for the general practitioners and the patients. For these last ones the concept of effective dose, in spite of its drawbacks is currently the most relevant indicator.
