/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f

from a specific x-ray procedure, the radiographer can
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f

a. respond by using an estimation based on the comparison of radiation received from
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f

the x-ray to natural background radiation received.
