Absorbed dose to peripheral organs during different methods of dental radiology using radiation estimation models
Introduction: Dental radiography as one of the most frequent type of radiological examinations is accepted for medical investigations due to their significant benefits nevertheless using ionizing radiation. It has lower radiation dose compared to another radiological examination but because of its high application for children, radiation dose needs attention. Based on affectin...
متن کاملComparing the results of 3D treatment planning and practical dosimetry in craniospinal radiotherapy using Rando phantom
Background: Craniospinal radiotherapy faces technical challenges which are due to the sensitivity of the location in which the gross tumor is, and to organs at risk around planning target volume. Using modern treatment planning systems causes a reduction in the complexities of the treatment techniques. The most effective method to assess the dosimetric accuracy and the validity of the ...
متن کاملAbsorbed dose of sensitive organs in maxillofacial region by different radiographic techniques: Panoramic, Waters, Caldwell and cone-beam computed tomography
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Due to increasing use of X-rays in diagnosis and treatment of diseases, this study aimed to measure and compares the absorbed dose in a number of sensitive organs of head and neck in different radiographic techniques.METHODS: Thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) and a male equivalent RANDO phantom were used to measure the absorbed dose in organs. The dosimeters were set in cer...
متن کاملDosimetric Comparison of Two Craniospinal Radiotherapy Techniques for Treatment Optimization
Introduction: Orthogonal radial fields are those in which the central axes are perpendicular to each other. An example of these orthogonal fields is the set of craniospinal orthogonal fields that are used for radiotherapy of medulloblastoma. Craniospinal radial fields consist of two parallel-opposed fields for brain exposure and one or two posterior spinal fields for spinal cord exposure. The m...
متن کاملEstimating the Absorbed Dose of Organs in Pediatric Imaging of 99mTc-DTPA Radiopharmaceutical using MIRDOSE Software
Introduction: In this study, organ radiation doses were calculated for the renal agent 99mTc-DTPA in children. Bio-kinetic energy of 99mTc-DTPA was evaluated by scintigraphy and estimates for absorbed radiation dose were provided using standard medical internal radiation dosimetry (MIRD) techniques.Material and Methods: In this applied research, fourteen children patients (6 males and 8 females...
