Marrow, ovary, and breast doses delivered by CHR diagnostic x-ray procedures
Creators
Description
Doses to the active marrow, ovaries, and breasts delivered by the diagnostic x-ray procedures used in the Center for Human Radiobiology are being estimated by measurements in a female RANDO phantom. Measurements are made at the sites of the target tissues by inserting LiF thermoluminescent dosimeters into holes drilled in the marrow spaces, at the positions of the ovaries and in the breasts. The dose to the active marrow is 169 +- 17 mrad with 1 mm Al added filtration and 177 +- 17 mrad with 3 mm Al added filtration. The ovary dose is 197 +- 26 mrad and 168 +- 12 mrad for 1 and 3 mm Al, respectively. Breast dose is currently being measured
