Introduction: Accurate evaluation of femoral and tibial torsion is essential for children or adult with legs deformity, becuse incorrect legs morphogenesis can lead to pathological situation. CT scan is commonly used for the measurement of skeletal bone parameters. But, disability in imaging from standing and sitting posture and absorb dose of patients are deficits of this meth...

introduction computed tomography scans are a very important tool for diagnosis and assessment of response to treatment in the practice of medicine. ionizing radiation in medical imaging is undoubtedly one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in medicine. yet, as with all medical interventions, there are potential risks in addition to the clear potential benefits. materials and methods two refe...

background : medical x-rays are the largest man-made source of public exposure to ionizing radiation. while the benefits of computed tomography (ct) are well known in accurate diagnosis, those benefits are not risk-free. ct is a device with higher patient dose in comparison with other conventional radiation procedures. objective: this study is aimed at evaluating radiation dose to patients from...

background: exposure conditions in ct examinations are quite different from conventional xray. in ct examination higher dose is given to patient in comparison with the dose in other diagnostic examinations. in order to calculate organ effective dose in chest ct, monte carlo simulation has been used in this study. materials and methods: the impact survey data were used to determine the parameter...

background: ct is a diagnostic imaging modality giving higher patient dose in comparison with other radiological procedures, so the calculation of organ dose in ct exams is very important. while methods to calculate the effective dose have been established (icrp 26 and icrp 60), they depend heavily on the ability to estimate the dose to radiosensitive organs from the ct procedure. however, dete...

  ABSTRACT   Background: While the benefits of Computed Tomography (CT) are well known in accurate diagnosis, those benefits are not risk free. CT is a device with higher patient dose in comparison with other conventional radiological procedures. Is the reduction of exposures by requiring optimization of CT procedures [a principle concern in radiological protection]? In this study, the radiatio...

Background: The present study intended to determine and report patient effective dose on the basis of patients and exposure data. Materials and methods: A nationwide computed tomography (CT) survey was provided as a report of patient doses in 2015-2016. Scan details were collected for nearly 2,000 adults and children in four age groups subjected to CT examinations. From total 565 CT scanners in...
