Comparison of dose from radiological examination for scoliosis in children among two pediatric hospitals by Monte Carlo simulationG Gialousis
Medical Physics Department, Medical School, University of Athens, 75 Mikras Asias Str, Goudi 11527, Athens, Greece
Health Phys 94:471-8. 2008..Moreover, dose to red bone marrow was found to be between 0.01 to 0.23 mSv and dose to breast ranged between 0.02 and 1.05 mSv depending on the age, projection, and hospital. These values are comparable with literature sources...
Monte Carlo estimation of radiation doses in red bone marrow and breast in common pediatric x-ray examinationsGeorge I Gialousis
Medical Physics Department, Medical School, University of Athens, 75 Mikras Asias Str Goudi 11527, Athens, Greece
Health Phys 95:331-6. 2008..Values ranged from 2 microSv to 204 microSv for red bone marrow and from 0 to 817 muSv for breast. Variation in doses occurred due to field size, high voltage setting, and Ka,e...
Monte Carlo estimation of dose difference in lung from 192Ir brachytherapy due to tissue inhomogeneityG Gialousis
Medical Physics Department, IASSO Hospital, 37 39 Kifissias Str, Maroussi 15123, Athens, Greece
Radiat Prot Dosimetry 147:287-90. 2011..Additionally, the relative increase was small for the lung (2.1 %) and larger for organs at risk such as the heart (6.8 %) and bone marrow (7.6 %)...
Monte Carlo estimation of radiation doses during paediatric barium meal and cystourethrography examinationsA Dimitriadis
Medical Physics Department, Medical School, University of Athens, 75 Mikras Asias Str, Goudi 11527, Athens, Greece
Phys Med Biol 56:367-82. 2011..82, 10.1, 11.1 mSv) and the pancreas (5.8, 5.93, 6.65 mSv), depending upon the age of the child. DAPs to organ/effective doses conversion factors were derived for each age and examination in order to be compared with other studies...
Radiation risk assessment in neonatal radiographic examinations of the chest and abdomen: a clinical and Monte Carlo dosimetry studyT Makri
Medical Physics Department, Medical School, University of Athens, 75, Mikras Asias Str, Goudi, 115 27 Athens, Greece
Phys Med Biol 51:5023-33. 2006..7 and 2.9 per million neonates, per film, and being slightly higher for females. Results of this study are in good agreement with previous studies, especially in view of the diversity met in the calculation methods...
Effective dose variation in pediatric computed tomography: dose reference levels in GreeceE Yakoumakis
Medical Physics Department, Medical School, University of Athens, Mikras Asias, Goudi 11527 Athens, Greece
Health Phys 97:595-603. 2009..As a result, many patients receive high doses without this being necessary. Thus, reducing dose methods should be adapted in order to improve the optimization of this high dose modality...
Dosimetry using Gafchromic XR-RV2 radiochromic films in interventional radiologyA Neocleous
Medical Physics Department, Medical School, University of Athens, 75 Mikras Asias Str, Goudi, 115 27 Athens, Greece
Radiat Prot Dosimetry 147:78-82. 2011..The film provides dose mapping, the position of the skin area with highest dose and can be used for immediate qualitative and as well as for quantitative assessment of patient skin dose...
Differences in effective dose and energy imparted estimation from PA-AP, RLAT-LLAT projections in pediatric full spine x-ray examination using the Monte Carlo techniqueGeorge I Gialousis
Medical Physics Department, Medical School, University of Athens, 75, Mikras Asias Str, Goudi 115 27, Athens, Greece
Phys Med Biol 51:287-97. 2006..On the other hand, E and epsilon do not differ statistically among RLAT and LLAT projections. Moreover, the role of lung and bone as tissue inhomogeneities in epsilon is shown to be very important...
Entrance radiation doses during paediatric cardiac catheterisations performed for diagnosis or the treatment of congenital heart diseaseD Papadopoulou
Department of Medical Physics, Medical School, University of Athens, 75 Mikras Asias, 11527 Athens, Greece
Radiat Prot Dosimetry 117:236-40. 2005..Radiation doses measured in this study are comparable with those reported to previous studies. Moreover, strong correlation was found between the DAP values and the entrance radiation dose measured with TLDs...
