Radiation dose estimation of patients undergoing lumbar spine radiography

Radiation dose estimation of patients undergoing lumbar spine radiography

Radiation dose to organs of 100 adult patients undergoing lumbar spine (LS) radiography at a University Hospital have been assessed. Free in air kerma measurement using an ionization chamber was used for the patient dosimetry. Organ and effective dose to the patients were estimated using PCXMC (vers...
