A revised schema for performing diagnostic x-ray shielding calculations.
This paper presents a method for performing diagnostic x-ray shielding calculations which is somewhat different than that given in NCRP Report No. 49. The method computes exposure at the location to be shielded from multiple sources of radiation in the room and accounts for differences in transmission characteristics of leakage and primary/scatter radiation. Also discussed in the paper is a met...
متن کاملConstruction shielding design for medical X-ray imaging equipment
There are analytic methods for designing protective barriers however, they lack sufficient efficiency and considering the NCRP (National Council on Radiation Protection and measurements) reports, designing mechanical protective barrier in order to protect the initial x-ray radiation and absorption of the ray quality of such radiation is different. In this study, computer software was designed t...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Diagnostic X-Ray Equipment Regarding the Hospital Size in the Republic of Korea
Introduction: The Republic of Korea has developed a national standard based on which diagnostic X-ray equipment must be tested every 3 years. Accordingly, the performance of X-ray equipment used in all hospitals is evaluated by national certification bodies in compliance with the safety management regulations for X-ray equipment. However, if the equipment i...
متن کاملQuality assessment of conventional X-ray diagnostic equipment by measuring X-ray exposure and tube output parameters in Great Khorasan Province, Iran
Introduction: Regular implementation of quality control (QC) program in diagnostic X-ray facilities may affect both image quality and patient radiation dose due to the changes in exposure parameters. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the status of randomly selected conventional radiographic X-ray devices installed in radiology centers of Great Khorasan Province, Iran, to produce the da...
متن کاملLocal Diagnostic Reference Levels for Some Common Diagnostic X-Ray Examinations In Sabzevar County of Iran
Introduction: Diagnostic reference level (DRL) is a useful tool for the promotion of optimization. The national DRLs (NDRLs) are useful, brief, and robust guidelines for optimizing radiation protection in a country. The aim of this study was to extract the local DRLs (LDRLs) for some common radiologic examination in Sabzevar county. Materials and Methods: There are eight radiology departments ...
