Means shall be provided to the RESPONSIBLE ORGANIZATION to allow configuring the unit for
display of DOSE AREA PRODUCT at least among all the following:

Add, before the compliance statement, the following new text:
The INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT should have a DOSE MAP.
NOTE 2 If a DOSE MAP is provided, it is intended for display during the procedure and to be available for export at
the end of the procedure.
NOTE 3 A SKIN DOSE MAP is preferred over other DOSE MAPS. An example of a DOSE MAP can be obtained by
cumulating the values of REFERENCE AIR KERMA over ranges of the available parameters that influence the location
of the X-RAY BEAM relative to the PATIENT. When the INTERVENTIONAL X-RAY EQUIPMENT cannot determine the
orientation of the X-RAY BEAM AXIS, creation of a DOSE MAP is not practical. Mapping head, chest, abdomen and
pelvic anatomy is of primary value; mapping extremities is of secondary value due to smaller body part thickness
and their variability in position on the PATIENT SUPPORT.
A DOSE MAP shall not be designated as a SKIN DOSE MAP, unless the RADIATION dose quantity is
SKIN DOSE.
NOTE 4 Dosimetric indications apply also for operation in cone-beam CT mode. This provides a means to
combine the RADIATION dose for all MODES OF OPERATIONS.
