Gonad Dosimetry in Diagnostic Radiology with the High Kilovoltage Technique
Journal Article
·
· Acta Radiologica, Therapy, Physics, Biology
Extensive investigations were made on the effects of kilovoltage on gonad dose during diagnostic radiography at kilovoltages of 150 or higher. The superficial, exit, and scatter doses corresponding to the gonad dose were measured in a phantom at voltages ranging from 60 to 190 kv. Proof was obtained that the gonad dose decreases, both at short and long distances, when the tube potential is increased. The gonad dose was considerably higher at radiographic voltages from 60to 80 kv than in the 100 to 200 kv range. (C.H.)
