Objectives: Pelvis radiographs are usually acquired supine despite standing imaging
reflecting functional anatomy. We compared supine and erect radiographic examinations for …

Purpose. Primarily to evaluate the radiation dose delivered to patients with obesity in
projection radiography and its relationship to the patient's size. A secondary purpose is to …

Purpose Radiological imaging examinations must be optimised in order to ensure that the
radiation dose is kept as low as reasonably possible (ALARP). The aim of this study was to …

Study Design. A comparative study of radiation dose measured in anthropomorphic
phantoms. Objectives. The aim of this study was to first report the first organ dose and …

Purpose Optimization studies in digital radiology help to reduce the radiological risk to
patients and maximize the benefits associated with their clinical purpose. The aim of this …

Abstract Introduction Dynamic X-rays (DXR) are widely recognized as an effective method to
detect lumbar instability (LI). They are usually performed with the patient in standing position …

The aim of the present study was to determine the influence of the body mass index (BMI) on
the dose area product (DAP) and effective dose (ED) in overweight and obese patients. We …

Background To investigate lateral lumbar spine radiography technical parameters for
reduction of effective dose whilst maintaining image quality (IQ). Methods Thirty-six …

Background: After radiation therapy (RT), some health hazards including DNA damages
may occur where melatonin can play a protective role due to free radical generation. On the …

Objective: To assess the quality of beam collimation during lumbar spine radiography at two
general hospitals in Ahvaz, Iran. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 830 …
