Possibilities of reducing radiation doses in spinograms of adolescents by means of most intensifying screens and compensating screens

  • 1. Staedtisches Klinikum Berlin-Buch (German Democratic Republic)

Description

Most intensifying screens based on CaWO4 and LaOBr2 or combinations of them were used in radiography of both the thoracic and the lumbar parts of the spines of adolescents. The results obtained were compared with those achieved by means of screens usually used for spinograms. Radiation exposure was reduced, on an average by 30-40%, when most intensifying screens were used, the image quality being the same. The introduction of high-speed superscreens is pressingly recommended. (author)
