Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A chart showing the radiation dose has been used. At present, a logarithmic axis is used as a longitudinal axis which scales a radiation dose. However, the logarithmic axis makes it difficult for the public to understand a radiation exposure dose. I devised a new method for expressing the radiation exposure dose by means of area for the purpose of easier understanding. I performed questionnaire surveys to evaluate and optimize the new method. Radiation exposure doses recognized by using the new method with circular form were closer to true values. In conclusion, the evidence-based new charts for expressing radiation dose by means of area were made up.
