Space radiation protection: comparison of effective dose to bone marrow dose equivalent.
In many instances, bone marrow dose equivalents averaged over the entire body have been used as a surrogate for whole-body dose equivalents in space radiation protection studies. However, career radiation limits for space missions are expressed as effective doses. This study compares calculations of effective doses to average bone marrow dose equivalents for several large solar particle events ...
متن کاملDetermination of Dose-Equivalent Response of A Typical Diamond Microdosimeter in Space Radiation Fields
Introduction: Microdosimeters are helpful for dose equivalent measurement in unknown radiation fields. The favorable physical and mechanical properties of the detector-grade chemical vapor deposition diamond materials have made the diamond microdosimeters suitable candidate for radioprotection applications in space. The purpose of this work is the investigation of the dose equivalent response o...
متن کاملEvaluation of the annual effective dose to Cath Lab staff in the Afshar Hospital, Yazd and suggesting the radiation protection strategies to better management of occupational dose
Introduction Due to the increasing use of angiography procedures and the higher risk of deterministic and stochastic effects for radiation workers of these sections than other radiological procedures, radiation safety is very important in angiography staff. So, this study aimed to obtain the effective dose of angiography staff and compare them with the standard dose limit and finally outline th...
متن کاملBone marrow radiation dosimetry of high dose 131I treatment in differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients
Background: Radiation absorbed dose to the red bone marrow, a critical organ in the therapy of thyroid carcinoma, is generally kept below 2 Gy for non-myeloablative therapies. The aim of this study was to calculate bone marrow radiation dose by using MIRDOSE3 package program and to optimize the safe limit of activity to be administered to the thyroid cancer patients. Materials and Methods: In t...
متن کاملEvaluation of Gonadal Exposure Dose in Long Bone Plain Radiography for Radiation Protection
Introduction: Long bone examination in standing position, as one of the diagnostic methods in plain radiography, is most commonly used in the field of medical diagnosis, especially leg length discrepancy. However, with regard to this examination, reproductive organs are exposed to radiation as they are placed in the adjacent area to the long bone. Due to the sensitivit...
