    Organ absorbed doses from diagnostic imaging were measured using a phantom. Results for testes, ovaries, thyroid, eyes, uterus, and bone marrow showed agreement with other studies.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Radiological Protection
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Diagnostic radiology procedures contribute to patient radiation exposure.
    • Accurate organ dose estimation is crucial for assessing radiological risk.
    • Previous studies have reported varying organ dose values.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To measure organ-absorbed doses for key organs during common diagnostic imaging examinations.
    • To provide normalized dose values for 24 examination projections.
    • To compare measured doses with existing literature data.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized an Alderson Rando phantom to simulate human anatomy.
    • Measured organ-absorbed doses for testes, ovaries, thyroid, eyes, uterus, and active bone marrow.

  • Normalized dose values to unit entrance exposure for each examination projection.

    • Main Results:

    • Organ-absorbed doses were successfully measured for 24 diagnostic examination projections.
    • Normalized dose values were obtained for critical organs.
    • The measured values demonstrated reasonable agreement with experimental and calculated data from other investigators.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides reliable organ-absorbed dose data for diagnostic radiology.
    • Findings support the accuracy of the measurement methodology.
    • The results contribute to a better understanding of patient radiation dosimetry in medical imaging.
