Paediatric Dose AssessmentToward Establishment of National Diagnostic Reference Levels for Digital Radiography Examinations in Iran
Introduction: Paediatric patients deserve special attention because of the higher radiation risks compared with adults. The main purpose of this study is to determine patient dose and diagnostic reference level for Paediatric through Entrance Surface Dose (ESD) calculations in common X-ray examination and to establish Paediatric national DRLs in digital radiography in Iran. <...
متن کاملLung Field Segmentation in Digital Postero-Anterior Chest Radiographs
This paper describes a lung field segmentation method, working on digital Postero-Anterior chest radiographs. The lung border is detected by integrating the results obtained by two simple and classical edge detectors, thus exploiting their complementary advantages. The method makes no assumption regarding the chest position, size and orientation; it has been tested on a non-trivial set of real ...
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 ...
متن کاملIn Vivo Diagnostic Accuracy of Digital Radiography in the Detection of Secondary Caries in Anterior Teeth
Background and Aim: Secondary caries are a common challenge for dentists. Many researchers have evaluated the accuracy of digital radiographic systems in the detection of secondary caries and have reported controversial results. Therefore, the aim of this in vivo study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of digital radiography in the detection of secondary caries in anterior teeth. Mate...
متن کاملThe need for national diagnostic reference levels: Entrance surface dose measurement in intraoral radiography
Background: Intraoral radiographies are the most frequent X-ray examinations in humans. According to International Commission on Radiation Protection (ICRP) recommendations, the selection of a diagnostic reference level (DRL) should be specific to a country or region. Critica l organs such as thyroid gland are exposed to X-rays in intraoral radiography and these exposures should be kept as low ...
