Investigations of the radiation exposure of the head during computerized axial tomography

  • 1. Kantonsspital Basel (Switzerland). Abt. fuer Radiologische Physik

Description

Various head phantoms and patients were used to measure, by means of thermoluminescence and film dosimetry, the radiation exposure of the head, especially of the eye lenses, in computerized axial tomography with the EMI scanner. The form of the isodoses and the dependence on position of the exposure dose in the region of the eyes were confirmed by calculations with a computer program. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

An verschiedenen Schaedelphantomen und an Patienten wurde mit Hilfe der Thermolumineszenz- und Filmdosimetrie die Strahlenbelastung des Kopfes unter besonderer Beruecksichtigung der Augenlinsen bei der computerisierten axialen Tomographie mit dem EMI-Scanner gemessen. Die Form der Isodosen sowie die Ortsabhaengigkeit der Expositionsdosis im Bereich der Augen wurde durch Berechnungen mit einem Computerprogramm bestaetigt. (orig.)
