MEASUREMENT OF DOSE IN ORAL CINERADIOGRAPHY

Abstract

The absorbed doses in oral cineradiography were measured with thermoluminescent dosimeters at critical organs in the head and neck, and gonads. Rando phantom was used for this study. Pituitary gland, eye lenses, parotid-, submandibular-, sublingual-, thyroid-glands, and gonads were the sites for the measurement. The highest value was observed in the tube side of parotidgland in lateral view; 13.7νGy/frame. One of cineradiographic examinations was presented and the results were compared with that of the other clinical x-ray examinations.
