background: ionizing radiation is present in all environment of the earth’s surface, beneath the earth and in the atmosphere. human beings are exposed to external radiation from their surroundings naturally and also to internal radiation from food, water and air they consume. then, it is important to measure and develop knowledge about radiation. objective: this study is designed to evaluate th...

exposure to radiation from different types of television sets was measured to ascertain the levels of hazards posed to the human biological system. measurement of the annual radiation dose hazards was performed using a halogen-quenched gm tube with thin mica end window having a density of 1.5 mg/cm2, effective window diameter of 0.360 inch and side wall of 0.012 inch thick. the gm tube was plac...

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...

background: pet/ct imaging using [18f]-fdg is utilized in clinical oncology for tumor detecting, staging and responding to therapy procedures. essential consideration must be taken for radiation staff due to high gamma radiation in pet/ct and cyclotron center. the aim of this study was to assess the staff exposure regarding whole body and organ dose and to evaluate environment dose in pet/ct an...

Background: Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is an indispensable tool for diagnosing infertility in females. The procedure exposes female reproductive organs to ionizing radiation as the genitals are irradiated during the process. Investigating patient absorbed dose during the procedures is essential for effective radiological protection of the patient. Objective: This study aims to investigat...
