kermaarea
Kermaarea is a radiological dosimetric concept most often encountered as the kerma-area product, abbreviated KAP. It serves as a metric for the total energy delivered by an X-ray beam to the irradiated volume, and it is widely used in medical imaging to assess and compare patient dose across procedures.
Kermaarea is defined as the product of the air kerma at a reference point and the cross-sectional
Measurement and interpretation: kermaarea is measured using a KAP meter placed in the beam path, usually near
Applications and limitations: kermaarea is used in diagnostic and interventional radiology for dose accounting, optimization, and
