Method for dose control

A computer-implemented method for dose control with an automatic exposure control, the automatic exposure control including at least a first sub-chamber and a second sub-chamber, and the method comprising:

• applying radiation to the first sub-chamber and the second sub-chamber;
• receiving a first time-course of a first accumulated dose from the first sub-chamber;
• receiving a second time-course of a second accumulated dose from the second sub-chamber;
• receiving a predetermined cut-off dose;
• determining a first weight based on the first time-course;
• determining a second weight based on the second time-course;
• multiplying a latest value of the first time-course with the first weight to determine a first weighted accumulated dose;
• multiplying a latest value of the second time-course with the second weight to determine a second weighted accumulated dose;
• adding the first weighted accumulated dose and the second weighted accumulated dose to determine a weighted overall applied dose;
• comparing the weighted overall applied dose with the predetermined cut-off dose to obtain a comparison result;
• and
• performing at least one of,
• providing a warning via a user interface based on the weighted overall applied dose equaling or exceeding the predetermined cut-off dose, or
• stopping the applying the radiation based on the weighted overall applied dose equaling or exceeding the predetermined cut-off dose.
