DAP of chest x-rays and lumbar spine examinations is strongly influenced by the constitution of the patients. Men are nearly twice as largely exposed to radiation as women.
The strong correlations between TLD-measured organ doses and DAP recommend the use of conversion coefficients for the dosimetry of fluoroscopic procedures.
DAP of venography of the lower extremity and enteroclysis is greatly influenced by the constitution of the patient. The differences between men and women are, however, not as striking as with static X-ray procedures. By contrast, in abdominal arteriography body weight and diameter play a limited role for radiation exposure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
