Measured X-ray Spectra and Absorbed Dose Conversion Factors in a Water Equivalent Phantom Irradiated with Diagnostic X-rays

Calculation of Absorbed Glandular Dose using a FORTRAN Program Based on Monte Carlo X-ray Spectra in Mammography

Introduction: Average glandular dose calculation in mammography with Mo-Rh target-filter and dose calculation for different situations is accurate and fast. Material and Methods: In this research, first of all, x-ray spectra of a Mo target bombarded by a 28 keV electron beam with and without a Rh filter were calculated using the MCNP code. Then, we used the Sobol-Wu parameters to write a FORTRA...

Phantom Tests with X-rays

The medical practitioner wishes a lung radiograph to be capable of revealing details uhich. are hardly perceptible. Jf he does not see a certain suspected detail does this then mean that that detail is non-existent, or is it that the X-ray picture is unable to reveal it? For a study of the general problem of perceptibility of details in X-ray technique good use -can be made of specially constru...

Absorbed dose measurements of a handheld 50 kVP X-ray source in water with thermoluminescence dosemeters.

Absorbed dose rate measurements of a 50 kV(p) handheld X-ray probe source in a water phantom are described. The X-ray generator is capable of currents of up to 40 microA, and is designed for cranial brachytherapy and intraoperative applications with applicators. The measurements were performed in a computer-controlled water phantom in which both the source and the detectors are mounted. Two dif...
