CR helps eliminate many of the disadvantages of traditional radiography. A storage phosphor plate collects the pattern of x...

Radiography is one of the most widely used imaging techniques in world. Since its inception, it has continued to evolve, leading development intelligent and automated radiography systems that are able perceive parts their environment respond accordingly. However, such do not provide a complete view examination space therefore unable detect multiple objects fully ensure safety patients, staff eq...

The purpose of this study was to study the absorbed dose in mouth due to scattering in teeth in dental radiography using the monte carlo simulation. The Electron Gamma Shower (EGS-4) system of computer codes was used, which is a general purpose package for Monte Carlo simulation of the coupled transport of electrons and photons in an arbitrary geometry for particles with energies above a few ke...

Introduction DVT or Cone beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advancement in Computed Tomography imaging that has begun to emerge as a potentially low-dose cross-sectional technique for visualizing bony structures in the head and neck. CBCT was first adapted for potential clinical use in 1982 at the Mayo Clinic Biodynamics, Research Laboratory. Exploration of CBCT technologies for use in radia...

Introduction: Extensive use of diagnostic radiology is the largest contributor to total population radiation doses. Thus, appropriate equipment and safe practice are necessary for good-quality images with optimal doses. This study aimed to perform quality control (QC) audit for radiography and fluoroscopy devices owned by private sector in Syria (2005-2013) to verify compliance of performance o...

Introduction In radiography, dose and image quality are dependent on radiographic parameters. The problem is caused from incorrect use of radiography equipment and from the radiation exposure to patients much more than required. Therefore, the aim of this study was to implement a quality-control program to detect changes in exposure parameters, which may affect diagnosis or patient radiation do...

For the exposure of patients in diagnostic radiology, individual dose limit does not apply, but optimization of radiological protection may play a major role. This project has been carried out with the purpose of improving the protection of patients in medical diagnostic radiology in China utilizing the principles of optimization. Taking Sichuan, Shandong and Beijing as surveyed areas, we inves...
