The lack of proper correlation between image quality and radiation dose in clinical practice is acknowledged. The aim is a (a) to definie the iamge quality needed for diagnosis, (b) to establish a reference dose that should normally not be exceeded and (c) to improve the correlation between image quality and dose by suggesting imaging parameters.
