AbstractThe realistic determination of effective dose of the staff in diagnostic radiology has been a challenge both for personal dosimetry and ambient dose measurement. A model for dosimetry of occupational exposure is presented that allows direct determination of effective dose from measured or even manufacturer given ambient dose distribution in front of the personnel. This model considers a wide range of radiation energies, different radiation protection situations, and gender effects.

The paper presents the results of a refined calculation of the average individual annual effective doses to the population of the regions of Russia from exposure to the cosmic radiation. The population-weighted average values of the altitude and latitude of the main settlements, which are home to at least 50 percent of the population of the region, were used as the altitude and latitude of the region. In addition, all settlements with a population of at least 20 thousand people were included in the calculation. Coverage of the population of the regions of Russia in the calculation varies from 50.1 to 95.8 percent (excluding three cities of Federal importance with 100 percent coverage) with the average value of 62.4 percent. The number of settlements included in the calculation in different regions ranges from 1 to 63. The methodology of the dose calculation is based on the approach described in the UNSCEAR 2000 Report. The obtained dose values for different regions range from 0.310 to 0.413 mSv. For Russia as a whole country, the population-weighted average individual annual effective dose from exposure to the cosmic radiation is 0.338 mSv.

The proposed paper provides a review of recommendations, methodic instructions and software for evaluation of exposure doses to population domiciling radioactive contaminated territories. There is a review of dose calculation methods which are most common in neighbouring countries and beyond. The paper presents basic approaches, factors required for dose assessment with review of main pathways for artificial radionuclides intake. It addresses the need to develop methodic instructions and software for the cases of people living at Semipalatinsk test site area.

The eye is one of the sensitive organs that need attention in the head CT-Scan. This study aims to reduce the effective eye dose on a head CT-Scan using ODM (Organ Dose Modulation) software and use eyeshield on the phantom. The study was conducted using a CT-Scan tool GE Revolution Evo 128 Slice. The research method was carried out by placing three pairs of eye TLDs (Hp3 Dosimeters) on the phantom for the three examination configurations, CT-Scan standard (routine) examinations, examinations using ODM software, and examinations using ODM software and eyeshield. The estimated effective dose calculation based on TLD reading for the eye lens on a standard CT-Scan (routine) is 1.29 mSv. Examination with ODM software is 1.03 mSv. Examination with ODM software and eyeshield of 0.9 mSv. Based on the results obtained, a head CT-Scan with ODM software can reduce the dose by 20% from a routine head CT-Scan, and if added with an eyeshield, it can reduce the dose by 30%. The quality of the image produced by implementing ODM software, SNR value decreased from 39 to 35 in the anterior phantom, central and posterior parts remained. However, the change in SNR value is not significant, so it does not change the image quality. Furthermore, the addition of eyeshield does not alter the SNR value, which means that the addition eyeshield does not cause artifacts that affect image quality. Using ODM and eyeshield software is indeed a little more complicated than a routine head CT-Scan. Still, the benefits obtained are pretty significant, reducing the effective dose received by the eye without reducing image quality.
