Optimization of Dose and Image Quality in Full-fiand Computed Radiography Systems for Common Digital Radiographic Examinations
IntroductionA fine balance of image quality and radiation dose can be achieved by optimization to minimize stochastic and deterministic effects. This study aimed in ensuring that images of acceptable quality for common radiographic examinations in digital imaging were produced without causing harmful effects. Materials and MethodsThe study was conducted in three phases. The pre-optimization inv...
متن کاملPatient dose in routine X-ray examinations in Yazd state
Background: Medical x-rays are the largest man-made source of public exposure to ionizing radiation. It is important to avoid conditions where the amount of radiation used is more than that needed for the procedure. Materials and Methods: The Entrance Skin Exposure (ESE) measurement was conducted for quality control of x-ray machines and survey of operator’s experimental techniques. The ESEs we...
متن کاملRadiation Dose Measurements in Routine X ray Examinations
The aim of current study was to evaluate patient's radiation dose in routine X-ray examinations in Omdurman teaching hospital Sudan.110 patients was examined (134) radiographs in two X-ray rooms. Entrance surface doses (ESDs) were calculated from patient exposure parameters using DosCal software. The mean ESD for the chest, AP abdomen, AP pelvis, thoracic spine AP, lateral lumber spine , antero...
متن کاملRadiation exposure of the Yazd population from medical conventional X-ray examinations
Background: Radiation dose knowledge through Xray examinations and their distribution in Iran provides useful guidance on patient dose reduction. The results of the entrance skin dose (ESDs) of five common radiographies in all radiology centers in Yazd province were reported in our previous study (2003). In the present study we have evaluated the collective effective dose of convention...
متن کاملIncreased radiation dose to overweight and obese patients from radiographic examinations.
PURPOSE To estimate the increase in effective radiation dose from diagnostic x-rays for overweight and obese adult patients, as compared with the effective dose for lean reference phantoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Relative effective radiation doses (E/E(0)) for the acquisition of chest and abdominal radiographs were calculated by using Monte Carlo computer simulations of effective doses deliver...
