Abstract

Background: Most exposure to artificial sources through diagnostic radiographs is due to the increase of these tests in the community and the inevitability of these tests. Optimizing the dose of skin inlet can play an important role in reducing radiation exposure, which can be achieved by monitoring the inlet dose as a key parameter. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the rate of skin input dose in routine radiographic tests at Loghman Hakim Hospital in Tehran to compare the doses recommended by the International Commission for Protection against Radiation (ICRP) and, if possible, to hopefully provide simple guidelines for dose reduction and optimization in patients with preserved image quality. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study was performed in Loghman Hakim public hospital in Tehran on 235 patients (100 females and 135 males) with a weight range of ± 10 kg. Patients’ Skin Doses were measured using four diagnostic radiographs of IAEA standards in 12 common radiographic views using thermoluminescence chips and Geiger Mü ller dosimeter. Results: The Skin Doses for each radiographic method in milligrays were as follows: Chest (posterior-anterior): 0. 34, Chest: (1. 85), Abdominal (anterior-posterior): 3. 31, Hip (anterior-posterior): 4. 79, cervical (anteriorposterior): 1. 95, cervical vertebra: 1. 24, dorsal (anterior-posterior): 2. 38, dorsal vertebrae (profile): 4. 68, lumbar vertebrae: 3. 95, lumbar vertebrae: 9. 53, skull (antero-posterior): 29. 2, and skull: 1. 89. Conclusion: The rate of skin inlet dose in the 12 investigated facets was in accordance with the recommended doses and in line with the standards provided by the International Commission for Protection against ICRP.
