According to the data obtained in this study the effective dose estimated for all cardiologists was lower than the monthly limits recommended by International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP).Keywords: staff dose, interventional radiography, occupational exposure, effective dose, occupational exposure, radiation exposure, cardiologists, low ...
Thoracic radiology is of great concern because of its routine nature. It is important to avoid conditions where the amount of radiation used is more than that needed for the procedure. ...
Population exposure to diagnostic and therapeutic ionising radiation is likely to increase worldwide, and this has raised concerns about the stochastic effects of low doses of radiation exposure. The present study was aimed to study the incidence of Chromosomal Aberrations (CAs) in patients exposed to low doses of X-rays during diagnostic interventional ...
The general purpose Monte Carlo N-Particle Radiation Transport Computer Code (MCNP4C) was used to calculate the equivalent dose to the person or people accompanying patients who have been exposed to radiation that was scattered from the patient. ...
The calculations of organ dose, normalised to air KERMA free-in-air, were done for external exposures to photon radiation with energies between 10 and 200 keV. Three parallel beam sources were studied: anterior-posterior, left lateral and rotational. ...
Minimisation of the threat posed by nuclear and radiological terrorism and mitigation of its impact is one of the most important tasks for any state. ...
We determined the frequency of chromosomal aberrations using the metaphase analysis method in radiation workers of radiology departments in Babol. Blood samples were prepared from 62 radiology workers and 29 individuals as controls, and lymphocytes were cultured in a culture medium. Results showed that the mean frequencies of the total ...
