In order to reduce an x-ray dose applied to a patient, it is necessary to know the dose absorbed by the patient. According to the present invention, there is provided a method of determining a local patient dose applied to a patient where after the reconstruction of the scan data into a diagnostic image, the scan data are backprojected into the patient volume, using the attenuation information of the diagnostic image to form a spatially varying photon fluence map. In parallel, the diagnostic image is segmented into anatomical structures to which dose-weighting factors are assigned. The locally absorbed dose is then calculated on the basis of the fluence map and the corresponding dose weights.
