Update of the federal governmental statistical surveillance form № 3-DOZ: “Data on patient doses from medical X-ray examinations”— Part 2 (FORM completion Recommendations)

Abstract

The form of federal governmental statistical surveillance № 3-DOZ, titled Data on patient doses from medical X-ray examinations, has changed significantly by the order of Rosstat N 880. In particular, the structure of the forms has been revised: studies involving high doses were dedicated from the rest; the section on radionuclide diagnostics has been redesigned; the information on the levels of patient exposure when using individual radionuclides and in hybrid studies have been displayed; information on the number of radiological studies and collective doses for pediatric patients have been introduced; and the number of studies for which typical (average) effective doses of patients are presented has been reduced. The structure of the updated form № 3-DOZ is presented within the framework of this work.
 In this article, recommendations for filling out № 3-DOZ have been developed in order to increase the reliability of the data provided and reduce the number of procedural errors.
