Patient Dose-Area Product (DAP) Monitoring in Digital Radiography
The objective of this study was to determine the Dose Area Product (DAP) for sample of 70 patients (40 Females and 30 Males) undergoing different types of digital radiography (DR) examinations at King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital (KAUH), Saudi Arabia. This study was done through implementing a quality control (QC) program initiated by The Center for Training and radiation protection, KAU. It ...
متن کاملEffects of Kilovoltage on Image Quality and Entrance Surface Dose in Lumbar Spine Digital Radiography
Introduction: Digital radiography possesses a wide dynamic range and has a major advantage in producing an acceptable image of diagnostic value even though overexposure occurs. Lumbar spine (LS) radiography is the most common examinations that gives high radiation dose to patients and accounts for the highest collective population dose of any conventional radiographic ...
متن کاملEntrance skin dose assessment of selected computed radiography facilities in Ghana
Background: The basic challenge with computed radiography (CR) systems is the large dynamic range which provides an opportunity for radiographers to gradually increase exposure factors and still produce good image quality, a practice that can lead to dose creep. Materials and Methods: The aim of this study was to establish the entrance skin dose (ESD) values for nine selected examinations in t...
متن کاملPatient effective dose evaluation for chest X-ray examination in three digital radiography centers
Background: The radiation doses resulting from diagnostic X-ray examinations are routinely measured in terms of entrance surface dose (ESD) and effective dose (ED). In this study, for the purpose of radiation protection, the radiation doses received from Digital chest X-ray examination were evaluated in terms of ESD and ED. Material and Methods: The ED was calculated by using the MCNP ...
متن کاملEffective Dose Evaluation of Critical Organes in Digital Radiography Exames
Background and Aim: Due to the increasing number of radiographic tests, TLD dosimeters can be used to measure the effective dose of critical organs in various radiographic tests. In this research, the progression of analogue to digital radiology devices, which facilitates and accelerates the performance of radiographs, especially emergency patients, was investigated, and then the effective dose...
