introduction this study was conducted to evaluate the radiographers’ awareness of radiation protection principles in the radiology centers of the hospitals of bandar abbas, iran. materials and methods this analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 50 radiographers of three hospitals affiliated with hormozgan university of medical sciences in 2015. the data were collected using a two-par...

background: although ionizing radiation is very important in diagnostic and treatment of many diseases, the hazards of this radiation are considerable and irrefutable. one of the main stages in radiation protection is knowledge about radiation dose in radiological investigation. the aim of this study was to determine the physicians' knowledge in radiological examinations. materials and methods:...

background: the number of interventional cardiology procedures performed has increased rapidly over the past years. while these procedures help physicians avoid using highly complicated invasive methods, it usually leads to high levels of exposure to ionizing radiation of both patients and cardiologist. the dose received by the cardiologist during interventional cardiology procedures is determi...

conclusions the state of observed radiation protection principles was relatively in the weak level in the studied radiology departments especially in facilities such as ventilation system, radiography entrance, and darkroom situation. more important reason was usage changing of sections as radiology billet from related organizations. results the mean of radiation protection in the studied radio...

An adequate treatment of thermal radiation heat transfer is essential to a mathematical model of the combustion process or to a design of a combustion system. This paper reviews the fundamentals of radiation heat transfer and some recent progress in its modeling in combustion systems. Topics covered include radiative properties of combustion products and their modeling and methods of solving th...

Security personnel who operate X-ray units for the control of hand luggage and personal items at airports are generally not under dosimetric surveillance. A significant increase in the number of inspected items per passenger, due to rigorous air traffic security measures, raises a question of extended exposure of these workers to scattered X-ray radiation. A new approach to investigating direct...
