Patient Dose Optimisation of Abdominopelvic Protocols During X‐Ray Imaging
Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.This study evaluates organ doses in abdominopelvic radiography for both erect and supine positions, addressing dose optimisation concerns in Ghana. Using CalDose X and thermoluminescence dosimeters, organ doses and image quality were analysed, revealing significant dose reductions with optimised exposure parameters (70 kVp, 10 mAs, 110 cm FDD).

The Importance of Patient Positioning in Radiography When Utilising Automatic Exposure Control
Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.This study highlights the impact of inaccurate patient positioning on dose and image quality when utilising the automatic exposure control (AEC) for radiographic examinations. While the AEC serves to optimise radiation dose to patients, the results here demonstrate that poor positioning can lead to significant dose implications for patients.

Radiation Dose and Risk in the Radiological Investigation of Suspected Non‐Accidental Injury (NAI)
Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.This study is a retrospective analysis of 362 skeletal surveys performed over a 5‐year period for children under 5 years of age for suspected non‐accidental injury. We present effective dose data and the associated risks of radiation exposure for initial and follow‐up examinations.

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 85-92, March 2025.This study established that patient's lateral width measurements made from scanned projection radiograph (SPR) is an overestimate compared to those measured from tomographic slices by about 10%. Size‐specific dose estimates (SSDE) calculated using lateral width measured from SPR correlates well with SSDE calculated using water equivalent diameter of ...

Proposed Diagnostic Reference Levels for Frequently Performed Paediatric Radiographic Examinations
Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.Paediatric diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) are weight‐stratified dose levels for typical medical imaging examinations for broadly defined types of equipment. The 75th percentiles of the FRLs across the nine X‐ray units from five centres in Australia were calculated as the proposed Local DRLs (LDRLs).
