Estimation of the effective dose to the radiologists during fluoroscopy or angiography of abdominal viscera
نویسنده
چکیده
I ncreasing diagnostic and therapeutic applications of X-ray in medicine will potentially enhance the radiation dose received by the radiologists; this is of more importance when they perform especial procedures. Although the tube collimator will prevent the exposure of radiologists from primary radiation beam, the scattered radiation from the patients body will constitute a potential source of exposure of the staff around the patient. The effective dose received by the radiologists during procedures such as fluoroscopy or different angiographies are usually evaluated using dose area product (DAP) or entrance surface dose ABSTRACT

Estimation of the effective dose to the radiologists during fluoroscopy or angiography of abdominal viscera
ABSTRACTBackground: as fluoroscopy or different angiographies are usually evaluated using TL dosimeter. Thismethod is a time-consuming procedure therefore, radiologists are usually worried and unawareof their exact radiation dose received during each fluoroscopy or angiography. In this study, anew trend for quick estimation of effective dose based on measuring air-absorbed dose of thescattered ...
