Dose recording in patients is not well implemented and so far has not been supported by the dose panel on the X-ray machine. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a dose-record application capable of storing dose data to support the patient’s radiation safety. It also refers to the regulation of diagnostic radiology service standards, medical records, and hospital accreditation standards regulated by the Ministry of Health. This study aimed to design an application of patient dosage record for abdominal examination with a Fluoroscopy X-ray machine. The design of dosage record application is done by exposing to radiation output and voltage (kV) variation of X-ray irradiation on 63-94.8 kV, current strength on 0.9-3.1 mA, and phantom thickness on 5-21 cm. The data is processed and multiplied by backscatter factor (BSF) is 1.35 to get entrance surface dose (ESD). ESD formula that can be included in the program script in the XAMPP software application. The dosage record application design can be used to record patient data with the calculated formulation obtained.
