Abstract

A hinged, mobile shutter was designed to reduce the effect of extraneous light on the interpretion of chest radiographs and angiograms. The authors believe that the device greatly facilitates the daily work by decreasing eye fatigue and probably by increasing the signal-to-noise ratio.

Microdosimetry of diagnostic X rays: applications of the variance-covariance method.

Microdosimetric measurements in beams of diagnostic X rays (between 30 and 125 kV) have been performed. In these pulsed radiation fields, microdosimetric measurements are possible only by application of the variance-covariance technique. The dose mean lineal energy, yD, is determined for various simulated diameters, at different depths in the absorber, and at different points within the pulse intervals. From the measured temporal dependences one can also obtain values of yD for different X-ray pulse generators. The results demonstrate the potential of the variance-covariance method for a diversity of microdosimetric measurements in radiation protection and in the quality control of radiation beams.
