Abstract Shielded garments are widely recommended for occupational radiation protection in diagnostic and interventional radiology. This study investigated a novel method efficiently verifying shielded garment integrity while simultaneously acquiring data lead-equivalence measurements, using two-dimensional topogram images from computed tomography (CT) scanners. was tested against more-conventi...

background: 7-lif: mg,cu,p (gr-207a) is one kind of thermo-luminescent dosimeters (tld) which can be used in diagnostic radiology and radiotherapy applications. because of having suitable properties such as good sensitivity, small size and being tissue equivalent, thermo-luminescent dosimetry has been one of the most important techniques in medicine over many years. choosing a correct energy fo...

In this study, dose area product measurements have been performed to propose diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) in intraoral dental radiology. Measurements were carried out at 60 X-ray units for all types of intraoral examinations performed in clinical routine. The third quartile values calculated range from 26.2 to 87.0 mGy cm(2). The results showed that there exists a large difference between...
