Abstract:Purpose:To investigate the dose distributions in water cylinders simulating patients undergoing Interventional Radiological examinations.
Method:The irradiation geometry consisted of an x-ray source, dose-area-product chamber, and image intensifier as currently used in Interventional Radiology. Water cylinders of diameters ranging between 17 and 30 cm were used to simulate patients weighing between 20 and 90 kg. X-ray spectra data with peak x-ray tube voltages ranging from 60 to 120 kV were generated using XCO… Show more
