Comparison of x-ray doses to critical organs from conventional radiography and digital imaging using TLD

Creators

Description

In this study, the radiation doses associated with conventional (16 film full-mouth) and digital (20 film full-mouth) radiography were evaluated and compared. The absorbed dose to selected anatomic sites were measured using a RANDO PHANTOM and TLD-100 powder. In dosimeters, the patient doses were evaluated to range from 0.74 mGy in eye lens to 13.31 mGy in skin and in digital imaging, the doses rang from 0.55 mGy in eye lens to 3.25 mGy in skin. The result of this survey show that the usage of digital imaging reduces the radiation exposure by a factor of 20 to 80 percent in different organs
