Abstract:

Abstract This paper evaluates effective dose (ED) of overweight and obese patients who undergo body computed tomography (CT) examinations. ED calculations were based on tissue weight factors in the International Commission on Radiological Protection Publication 103 (ICRP 103). ED per unit dose length product (DLP) are reported as a function of the tube voltage, body mass index (BMI) of patient. The VirtualDose software was used to calculate ED for male and female obese phantoms representing normal weight, overweight, obese 1, obese 2 and obese 3 patients. Five anatomic regions (chest, abdomen, pelvis, abdomen/pelvis and chest/abdomen/pelvis) were investigated for each phantom. The conversion factors were computed from the DLP, and then compared with data previously reported by other groups. It was observed that tube voltage and BMI are the major factors that influence conversion factors of obese patients, and that ED computed using ICRP 103 tissue weight factors were 24% higher for a CT chest examination and 21% lower for a CT pelvis examination than the ED using ICRP 60 factors. For body CT scans, increasing the tube voltage from 80 to 140 kVp would increase the conversion factors by as much as 19–54% depending on the patient's BMI. Conversion factor of female patients was ~7% higher than the factors of male patients. DLP and conversion factors were used to estimate ED, where conversion factors depended on tube voltage, sex, BMI and tissue weight factors. With increasing number of obese individuals, using size-dependence conversion factors will improve accuracy, in estimating patient radiation dose.

Abstract:

Abstract The present study evaluated the organ doses, effective doses and conversion factors from the dose–area product to effective dose in pediatric diagnostic cardiac catheterization performed by in-phantom dosimetry and Monte Carlo simulation. The organ and effective doses in 5-y-olds during diagnostic cardiac catheterizations were evaluated using radiophotoluminescence glass dosemeters implanted into a pediatric anthropomorphic phantom and PCXMC software. The mean effective dose was 3.8 mSv (range: 1.8–7.5 mSv). The conversion factors from the dose–area product to effective dose were 0.9 and 1.6 mSv (Gy cm2)−1 for posteroanterior and lateral fluoroscopy, respectively, and 0.9 and 1.5 mSv (Gy cm2)−1 for posteroanterior and lateral cineangiography, respectively. Effective doses evaluated using the pediatric dosimetry system agreed with those obtained using PCXMC software within 12%. The dose data and conversion factors evaluated may guide the estimation of exposure doses in children undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterization.

Abstract:

Abstract The results of the geometric mixture model by Tomasek (2011, 2013) were applied for the calculation of radiation risk at radon exposure at the assessment of dose conversion factors (DCF; mSv/WLM) from radon exposure to the effective dose-by-dose conversion convention approach for cohorts with different smoking status. It is shown that the use of a geometric mixture model results in a better agreement between DCF values for men and women.

Abstract:

Abstract The present study evaluated the organ and effective doses in infant diagnostic cardiac catheterisation performed using a modern x-ray imaging unit by in-phantom dosimetry. In addition, conversion factors from dose–area product (DAP) to effective dose were determined. The organ and effective doses in 1-year old during diagnostic cardiac catheterisations were measured using radiophotoluminescence glass dosemeters implanted into an infant anthropomorphic phantom. The mean effective doses, evaluated according to the International Commission on Radiologic Protection Publication 103, were 4.0 mSv (range: 1.5–8.7 mSv). The conversion factors from DAP to effective dose were 2 and 3.5 mSv (Gy cm2)−1 for posteroanterior and lateral fluoroscopy, respectively, and 1.8 and 3.3 mSv (Gy cm2)−1 for posteroanterior and lateral cineangiography, respectively. The dose data and conversion factors evaluated in the present study may be useful for estimating radiation exposure in infants during diagnostic cardiac catheterisation.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to determine the conversion factors for the effective dose (ED) per dose length product (DLP) for various computed tomography (CT) protocols based on the 2007 recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). CT dose data from 369 CT scanners and 13,625 patients were collected through a nationwide survey. Data from 3793 patients with a difference in height within 5% of computational human phantoms were selected to calculate ED and DLP. The anatomical CT scan ranges for 11 scan protocols (adult-10, pediatric-1) were determined by experts, and scan lengths were obtained by matching scan ranges to computational phantoms. ED and DLP were calculated using the NCICT program. For each CT protocol, ED/DLP conversion factors were calculated from ED and DLP. Estimated ED conversion factors were 0.00172, 0.00751, 0.00858, 0.01843, 0.01103, 0.02532, 0.01794, 0.02811, 0.02815, 0.02175, 0.00626, 0.00458, 0.00308, and 0.00233 mSv∙mGy−1∙cm−1 for the adult brain, intra-cranial angiography, C-spine, L-spine, neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis, coronary angiography, calcium scoring, aortography, and CT examinations of pediatric brain of <2 years, 4–6 years, 9–11 years, and 13–15 years, respectively. We determined ED conversion factors for 11 CT protocols using CT data obtained from a nationwide survey in Korea and Monte Carlo-based dose calculations.

Abstract:

Currently, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) uses the dose conversion convention to calculate effective dose per unit exposure to radon and its progeny. In a recent statement, ICRP indicated the intention that, in future, the same approach will be applied to intakes of radon and its progeny as is applied to all other radionuclides, calculating effective dose using reference biokinetic and dosimetric models, and radiation and tissue weighting factors. Effective dose coefficients will be given for reference conditions of exposure. In this paper, preliminary results of dose calculations for Rn-222 progeny are presented and compared with values obtained using the dose conversion convention. Implications for the setting of reference levels are also discussed.

Abstract:

The aim of the study is to reveal that average internal dose in a settlement is the function of its environmental factors and social constitution. The method of investigation - statistic analysis of the internal dose in rural residents depending on number of factors: radioecological, marked in conversion factor of radionuclides from soil into milk; environmental - close location of a settlement to forest; social - number of population and demographic structure. Comparison of mean dose of internal irradiation was conducted in 10-years dynamics in rural residents of Vetka and Hoiniki districts situated in territory with approximately equal contamination density who had been earlier grouped by this feature. The internal dose depends not only on the degree of radio contamination of the territory but on the number of other factors such as: environmental - close to forest which in its turn determines access to forests «products», and social - number of population, social - age structure. None of these factors determine dose formation. Their influence on the process of dose formation in settlements must be regarded in the aggregate.

Besides the research aspects of aerosol sciences, the purpose of this joint measurement was to compare dose conversion factors calculated from the results obtained by these three laboratories. In low ventilated rooms with moderate aerosol particle concentrations (Z=4000-8000 cm-3) about 40% of the 218Po activity is associated with clusters, narrow in shape (sg<1.2) and with a median diameter of 0.9 nm. There are strong indications for an additional, fairly broad mode (sg>1.2, fraction=10%) of the 'unattached' part of the 218Po distribution with a median diameter of 3-4 nm. The averaged mode (3 days) derived effective dose conversion factors (HE-DCF) from the 218Po values - measured by the three groups - differ less than 30%. However, the daily averaged values sometimes differ by a factor of 2. In general, it does not appear to make much difference to the derived conversion factors if the ultrafine mode (<10 nm) is unimodal or bimodal. The median diameters of the aerosol-attached fraction of the short-lived radon decay products ranged between 200 and 350 nm, depending on the different methods used by the three laboratories. However, these fairly large differences have only little influence on dose conversion factor calculations. This joint exercise clearly showed that accurate particle size measurements in the diameter range 10-100 nm (nucleus mode), which requires combining impactors and diffusion battery techniques, is a difficult task, not fully solved as yet.

Abstract:

Abstract Some companies in Korea have sold beds which contain a processed product containing monazite powder. Consumers may receive external exposure by radiation emitted by progeny radionuclides in uranium and thorium, and internal exposure through the breathing of radon progeny radionuclides produced in the decay chain. Thus, in this study, age specific dose conversion factors (mSv y−1 Bq−1) by external exposure and dose conversion factors by internal exposure (mSv y−1 per Bq m−3) were derived. Besides, a dose assessment program were developed to calculate dose by taking into account real conditions. And the age specific dose was evaluated using the radioactive concentration measured by the NSSC. As a results, external exposure was assessed to get effective doses in the range of 0.00086 to 0.0015 mSv y−1 by external exposure and a committed effective doses in the range of 1.3 to 12.26 mSv y−1 by internal exposure for all age groups.

Abstract:

SummaryAim: Reinvestigation of the radiation exposure of patients undergoing whole-body [18F]FDG-PET/CT examinations pursuant to the revised recommendations of the ICRP. Methods: Conversion coefficients for equivalent organ doses were determined for realistic anthropomorphic phantoms of reference persons. Based on these data, conversion coefficients for the effective dose were calculated using the revised tissue-weighting factors that account for the different radiation susceptibilities of organs and tissues, and the redefinition of the group ‘remainder tissues’. Results: Despite the markedly changed values of the equivalent organ doses estimated for FDG and of the tissue-weighting factors, the conversion coefficient for the effective dose resulting from FDG administration decreases only slightly by 10 %. For whole-body CT scans it remains even unchanged. Conclusion: The updated dose coefficients provide a valuable tool to easily assess the generic radiation risk of patients undergoing whole- body PET/CT (or PET/MRI) examinations and can be used, amongst others, for protocol optimization.
