GONAD DOSE IN THE PATIENT WITH X-RAY EXAMINATION OF THE INTESTINES

Abstract

In our country, the X-ray examination of digestive organs contribute genetically significant dose. We tried to determine the gonad dose in the patient with X-ray examination of the intestines by the measurement of the phantom experiment. We infered positioning of patient from radiography of intestinal examination and measured the ovarian dose by the detector (TLD) in to the bladder of Machlett-Radiography phantom, and testis dose by attaching detector to the scrotum phantom of Mix-Dp. For intestinal examination, gonad of patient-usefull beam distance was an important factor of gonad dose in the patient with X-ray examination of the intestines.
