Abstract
Medical imaging studies represent an important tool for patient diagnosis. However some may be harmful due to the amount of ionizing radiation used in them, this is the main reason why it is necessary to keep track of the dose received by each patient. There are many countries in which, as a norm, a dosimetry record of each patient who has undergone imaging studies using ionizing radiation is taken. Mexico is trying to implement this kind of registration, however, commercial systems are still not available. The aim of this article is to describe the development and implementation of a system that allows doctors to assess and monitor the total effective dose of each patient. This system is aimed to work under the consideration of certain requirements and as long as the right protocols are taken.
