Dose (Gy)

Step 1:

Determine the uncertainty

(s)

for the dose measurement,

yielding the

probability distribution for the true dose

.

C

a

Dose measurement

= Dm

Dm + C

a

/2

Dm - C

a

/2

Action limits - Proposed philosophy

Step 2:

Set a confidence level CL for the true dose, e.g.

CL =95%, and determine the corresponding dose interval C

a

.

Error probability = (1-CL)/2

(i.e. 2.5% when CL=95%)
