ESTIMATION OF ENTRANCE SURFACE AIR KERMA IN DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHIC EXAMINATIONS
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2021 Abstract Purpose: Contribution of radiation doses from medical X-ray examination to collective dose is significant. Unusually, high doses may increase the risk of stochastic effects of radiations. Therefore, radiation dose assessment was performed in 241 digital X-ray examinations in the study and was compared with published dose ...
