A computer-implemented method for determining spatially resolved radiation exposure information for a patient during an examination by an imaging X-ray device comprising an X-ray tube unit for emitting an X-ray field for the examination, wherein patient entrance dose information, which specifies an X-ray does acting on the patient, is determined, from which the radiation exposure information is determined, the method comprising:
- determining preliminary dose information that specifies a homogeneously distributed X-ray dose acting on the patient in an absence of a compensating filter arranged between the patient and the X-ray tube unit in the X-ray field that is configured to cause an inhomogeneous dose distribution in a plane perpendicular to a central ray of the X-ray field;
- calculating dose distribution information using the preliminary dose information, wherein the dose distribution information specifies at least a dose distribution of an X-ray dose acting on the patient in a portion of the X-ray field covered by the compensating filter, and wherein the dose distribution information is calculated by a filter model that uses at least one filter parameter specifying the compensating filter and an arrangement of the compensating filter in the X-ray field;
- and
- determining the patient entrance dose information that specifies the X-ray dose acting on the patient using the dose distribution information.
