  How to use it: 
  The total patient dose can be used to monitor and assess the safety of medical procedures. It can also be used to compare different procedures and determine which one is more effective or has fewer risks. Additionally, it can be used to track the progress of a patient over time and ensure that they are not being exposed to too much radiation.
