Methods for monitoring patient dose in dental radiology.
Different types of X-ray equipment are used in dental radiology, such as intra-oral, panoramic, cephalometric, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) units. Digital receptors have replaced film and screen-film systems and other technical developments have been made. The radiation doses arising from different types of examination are sparsely documented a...
متن کاملSkin dose measurement for patients using imaging plates in interventional radiology procedures.
A method using europium-doped BaFBr imaging plates (IPs) has been developed to estimate and map values of entrance skin doses during interventional radiology (IR). IPs offer many advantages for measuring the entrance skin dose because they have a wide dynamic range (up to 100 Gy), provide high spatial resolution as a detector of two-dimensional images, and can be used repeatedly. The entrance s...
متن کاملCharacterization of a MOSkin detector for in vivo skin dose measurements during interventional radiology procedures.
PURPOSE The MOSkin is a MOSFET detector designed especially for skin dose measurements. This detector has been characterized for various factors affecting its response for megavoltage photon beams and has been used for patient dose measurements during radiotherapy procedures. However, the characteristics of this detector in kilovoltage photon beams and low dose ranges have not been studied. The...
متن کاملRadiation doses in interventional radiology procedures: the RAD-IR study: part II: skin dose.
PURPOSE To determine peak skin dose (PSD), a measure of the likelihood of radiation-induced skin effects, for a variety of common interventional radiology and interventional neuroradiology procedures, and to identify procedures associated with a PSD greater than 2 Gy. MATERIALS AND METHODS An observational study was conducted at seven academic medical centers in the United States. Sites prosp...
متن کاملAssessment of the effective dose to personnel in interventional radiology: a review of methods
The individual monitoring of the occupational exposure in interventional radiology is problematic, owing primarily to the fact that the personnel has to wear a lead rubber protective apron. Indeed the dosimeter readings are not, in principle, accurately representative for the effective dose in all working conditions, irrespective of the over or under-apron dosimeter location. Therefore differen...
