Cardiac-Specific Conversion Factors to Estimate Radiation Effective Dose From Dose-Length Product in Computed Tomography.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine updated conversion factors (k-factors) that would enable accurate estimation of radiation effective dose (ED) for coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and calcium scoring performed on 12 contemporary scanner models and current clinical cardiac protocols and to compare these methods to the standard chest k-factor of 0.014 mSv·mGy-1cm-1.

متن کاملAssessment of Effective Dose Equivalent from Internal Exposure to 222Rn in Ramsar City
Introduction In this study, effective dose equivalent for the public due to internal exposure to 222radon (222Rn) was evaluated in three regions of Ramsar, a northern coastal city in Iran. Materials and Methods Measurements were carried out using a radon monitoring device. Outdoor and indoor radon concentrations were measured within 24 hours with an integration in...
متن کاملNatural Gamma Radiation and Effective Annual Dose in Hot Springs in South Khorasan Province, Iran
Background and purpose: Background radiation exists naturally in the environment and human has been always exposed to it. These rays can affect living creatures and cause chromosomal damage, and genetic and somatic diseases. Hot water springs are a major source of background radiation. This study aimed at investigating the absorbed dose of environmental gamma and determining the annual effecti...
متن کاملComments on 'Converting absorbed dose to medium to absorbed dose to water for Monte Carlo based photon beam dose calculations'.
Current clinical experience in radiation therapy is based upon dose computations that report the absorbed dose to water, even though the patient is not made of water but of many different types of tissue. While Monte Carlo dose calculation algorithms have the potential for higher dose accuracy, they usually transport particles in and compute the absorbed dose to the patient media such as soft t...
متن کاملTritons at energies of 10 MeV to 1 TeV: conversion coefficients for fluence-to-absorbed dose, equivalent dose, effective dose and gray equivalent, calculated using Monte Carlo radiation transport code MCNPX 2.7.C.
Conversion coefficients were calculated for fluence-to-absorbed dose, fluence-to-equivalent dose, fluence-to-effective dose and fluence-to-gray equivalent for isotropic exposure of an adult female and an adult male to tritons ((3)H(+)) in the energy range of 10 MeV to 1 TeV (0.01-1000 GeV). Coefficients were calculated using Monte Carlo transport code MCNPX 2.7.C and BodyBuilder™ 1.3 anthropomo...
