conclusions performing the routine chest ct in high-energy blunt trauma patients (with a mean injury severity of 9), although leading to the diagnosis of some occult injuries, has no impact on the outcome and does not decrease the in-hospital stay and icu admission time. it seems that performing the routine chest ct in these patients may lead to overtreatment of nonsignificant injuries. the dec...

background: medical x-rays are the largest man-made source of public exposure to ionizing radiation. it is important to avoid conditions where the amount of radiation used is more than that needed for the procedure. materials and methods: the entrance skin exposure (ese) measurement was conducted for quality control of x-ray machines and survey of operator’s experimental techniques. the eses we...

introduction radiation exposures from diagnostic medical examinations are generally low and are almost always justified by the benefits of accurate diagnosis of possible disease conditions. therefore, entrance skin dose (esd), body organ dose (bod), and effective dose (ed) from adult patients undergoing routine thorax posterior-anterior (pa) and thorax right lateral (rlat) were estimated in uni...

Introduction Individual X-Ray diffraction patterns of biological tissues are obtained via interference of coherent scattering with their electrons. Many scientists have distinguished normal and cancerous breast tissue, bone density, and urinary stone types using the X-Ray diffraction patterns resulting from coherent scattering. The goal of this study was to introduce an optimized method for obt...
