Evolution of X‐ray machine quality control acceptance indices

The quality assurance (QA) of radiographic images based on the operating conditions of X-ray equipment is essential for good image quality, accurate medical diagnostics and for the prevention of health professionals and patients to unnecessary doses of ionizing radiation. This paper presents a historical analysis of 1,635 Quality Assurance Technical Reports of Health Institutions in the state o...

HVL evaluation of orthovoltage X-ray machine using EGSnrc code of simulation

Background: Making use of the orthovoltage machines in Radiotherapy, is one of the routine methods for the treatment of the superficial lesions. In this study, an important determinant of X-ray quality, the HVL (Half Value Layer), has been evaluated. Materials and Methods: The HVLs of a orthovoltage X-ray machine in 120 and 180 kVp are measured, using an empirical method, in which the HVLs are ...

Impact of quality control on radiation doses received by patients undergoing abdomen X-ray examination in ten hospitals

  ABSTRACT   Background: The X-ray machines used for radiodiagnosis should meet certain quality assurance (QA) programmes . These are necessary to have good quality radiographs at reasonably low exposure to patients.   Materials and Methods: Dose reduction methods in abdomen X-ray examination were carried out in 10 hospitals in Tehran. This paper presents the work, which was implemented on 200 ...
