Abstract

Organ dose and EFFECTIVE DOSE were estimated for one hundred patients (50 males and 50 females) who were reffered to Mashhad Ghaem Hospital for CHEST X-RAY examination.ODS-60 software was employed for ORGAN DOSE calculation. This software is capable of computing absorbed dose of 26 organs as well as EFFECTIVE DOSE. This programme is based on the ICRP-60 recommendation and Monte Carlo technique. Our results show that in PA CHEST X-RAY lung absorbs the highest dose. The average value for males and females equals to 1.01± 0.14 and 0.58±0.10 mGy respectively. The resulting EFFECTIVE DOSE for men and women are equal to 0.246 ±0.034 and 0.178±0.033 mSv accordingly.Effective doses obtained from this research were compared with the results of other workers, also with NRPB national reference dose levels. It is concluded that EFFECTIVE DOSE as computed in this work is several times higher than similar quantities published by other workers. It implies that X-ray diagnostic procedures in Mashhad Ghaem Hospital should be re-examined and all efforts have to be made to reduce patient dose.
