Measurement Of Average Radiation Dose Associated With Pelvic X-ray Examination; A Case Study Of Unth And Nohe

ABSTRACT Various researchers who have carried out national and international surveys have reported wide variations in patient dose arising from specific X-ray examinations. This study intends to quantify and evaluate, by means of thermo luminescence dosimeter (TLD) chips, the average radiation dose to the patients undergoing pelvic x-ray examinations. ESD (entrance surface doses) to patients’ pelvic will be measured with thermo luminescence dosimeter (TLD) chips, also the exit dose will be measured using TLD chips. The absorbed dose is thus gotten by subtracting the exit dose from the entrance…
