Hospitals & Health Care SystemsIndustry & Energy This radiation dose report displays estimated doses for participants who have not returned their dosimeters for a specific wear date. You will receive information to decide what calculated dose is appropriate and track exposure trends and ALARA (As Low as Reasonably Achievable) levels when a dosimeter is late or missing. GENERAL FACTS • Purpose: The ESTimate® Report displays estimated doses for the participants that have not returned their dosimeters for a specific wear date. • The estimated doses are triggered when the majority of dosimeters from an account are returned. The percentage of returned dosimeters can be set anywhere from 30% to 100%. The default is 80%. • The report provides all the information needed to easily decide what calculated dose is appropriate and is a good way to track exposure trends and ALARA levels when a dosimeter is late or missing. • This report generates monthly and includes any estimated doses from any wear period. • The report is generated and mailed to the primary reporting address listed at the account level. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What do I do with this report? After receiving this report, review the estimated doses, make any necessary changes in “Change to Calc Dose” column, then sign the first page and return the report to Landauer. What if I never return a signed report to Landauer? If a signed report is not returned to Landauer, estimated doses will never be converted to calculated doses. Equivalent Form 4 and 5 will indicate that the estimated dose exists for the participant.
