Evaluation of the Entrance Surface Dose (ESD) and Radiation Dose to the Radiosensitive Organs in Pediatric Pelvic Radiography
Background Patients' dosimetry is crucial in order to enhance radiation protection optimization and to deliver low radiation dose to the patients in a radiological procedure. The aim of this study was to assess the entrance surface dose (ESD) and radiation dose to the radiosensitive organs in pediatric pelvic radiography. Materials and Methods The studied population included 98 pediatric patien...
متن کاملApplication of Dose-Area Product compared with three other dosimetric quantities used to estimate patient effective dose in diagnostic radiology
Background: Application of Dose-area product (DAP) quantity has been increased in the clinical practice. DAP is relatively easy to measure. DAP has been shown to correlate well with the total energy imparted to the patient, which is related to the effective dose. Material and Methods: In this study, measurements of DAP were carried out in a sample of 421 adult patients who underwent convention...
متن کاملPatient Dose-Area Product (DAP) Monitoring in Digital Radiography
The objective of this study was to determine the Dose Area Product (DAP) for sample of 70 patients (40 Females and 30 Males) undergoing different types of digital radiography (DR) examinations at King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital (KAUH), Saudi Arabia. This study was done through implementing a quality control (QC) program initiated by The Center for Training and radiation protection, KAU. It ...
متن کاملDose Reduction to the Thyroid Gland in Pediatric Chest Radiography
Background It is remain a main concern that pediatric chest radiographies contribute to the significant radiation exposure to the thyroid gland as a more susceptible organ to radiation induced cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the entrance surface dose (ESD) of pediatric chest radiography compared to the diagnostic reference levels (DRL) and evaluation the efficacy of the lead (Pb)...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Entrance Surface Dose and Dose to Different Organs in Lumbar Spine Imaging
Background: Dose assessment using proper dosimeters is especially important in radiation protection optimization and imaging justification in diagnostic radiology.Objective: The aim of this study is to obtain the Entrance Skin Dose (ESD) of patients undergoing lumbar spine imaging using two thermoluminescence dosimeters TLD-100 (LiF: Mg, Ti) and GR-200 (LiF: Mg, Cu, P) and also to obtain the ab...
