GONADAL AND BONE MARROW DOSE IN MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4822792
Measurements were made of the active mean bone marrow, integral bone marrow, gonadal, and maximum skin doses from diagnostic x-ray procedures used in Cairo University Hospitals. The active mean marrow dose in cervical, dorsal, and lumbar spine diagnostic exposures were: found to be somewhat smaller than those reported by some western couatries. One of the most striking results of the survey was the relatively high values of the urinary tract cases investigated diagnostically; owing to the high incidence of urinary tract Schistosomiasis. The gonadal dose delivered to males and females was found to be almosi negligible for all diagnostic investigations of the spine, except for the lumbo-dorsal region which was within the range 50 to 500 mrads. It was also found that the gonadal dose was significant in investigations of the lower gastrointestinal tract, gall bladder, and urinary tract. (P.C.H.)
