Accurate measurement of ionizing radiation at high dose rates underpins radiation protection, industrial sterilization, food irradiation, and advanced medical therapies, such as high-dose-rate brachytherapy and FLASH treatment. Detectors purpose-built for these intense fields are costly and complex, motivating the search for inexpensive and widely available alternatives that re…
Occupational exposure to ionizing radiation remains an important radiation protection concern among radiology workers. This study assessed cytogenetic damage among radiology workers in Ghana using the dicentric chromosome assay and cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay alongside routine thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) records. Eleven occupationally exposed workers and thirteen…
The Institute of Applied Nuclear Physics conducts periodic monitoring of doses for occupationally exposed workers in Albania. This is the first study in Albania that includes all regional and university hospitals in the country. Measurements are carried out in 2-month periods using thermoluminescent dosemeters composed of LiF:Mg,Ti crystals which are measured with the Harshaw 6…

Abstract Radiophotoluminescent (RPL) glass dosimeters are widely used for personal and environmental radiation monitoring purposes. However, their ability to determine irradiation geometries remains largely unexplored. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of determining X-ray incident angles using an originally developed RPL imaging system. The RPL glass samples were …
Abstract Purpose To compare organ absorbed doses and effective doses between photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) and conventional energy-integrating detector CT (EID-CT) for head examinations in a 10-year-old child model, thereby providing measured data to support dose optimization in pediatric head CT. Materials and methods A 10-year-old anthropomorphic pediatric phantom (CIR…
ObjectivesThe increasing use of computed tomography (CT) in feline medicine necessitates the optimization of radiation protocols to adhere to ALARA principles. This prospective study aimed to evaluate the impact of patient positioning dorsoventral (DV) versus ventrodorsal (VD) on radiation doses absorbed by the ocular lenses and the thyroid gland during feline cranial CT.Method…

High natural background radiation areas (HNBRAs) can impose elevated external exposure on non-human biota, yet organism-relevant dose characterization remains limited for many extreme environments. Here, we quantify external radiation exposure in Ramsar's Talesh Mahalleh (Iran) using controlled laboratory measurements supported by Monte Carlo (MC) modeling to interpret finite-g…

IntroductionA splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) during pregnancy poses a potentially life-threatening risk to patients and is challenging to treat. One treatment option is fluoroscopy-guided embolization, which is often met with apprehensiveness due to potential prenatal radiation exposure. Therefore, knowledge of the expected uterus dose and effective radiation protection measures…

A new compact three-element Extremity Ring Badge (ERB) dosemeter has been developed for extremity dose monitoring of Indian radiation workers. This three-element dosemeter is based on indigenously developed CaSO4:Dy-Teflon discs as a thermoluminescent detector placed between suitable filters in a plastic holder. The dosemeter is designed and calibrated to measure the dose equiv…
