Abstract

This article describes a semiautomated system for the capture and reporting of fluoroscopic dose data in a large radiology department. By use of a novel Web-based interface, dose data are entered by technologists at the time of examination, and radiology reports are populated automatically. Dose data were successfully captured in 94% of 5,914 reports generated over the course of 6 months. Missing data were attributed to system malfunction (9.5%) and human error (90.5%) and could be reconstructed by quality control measurements in most instances.
