Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This study aimed to determine the optimum source toimage distance (SID) for key radiographicprojections, in diagnostic radiology. Threesecondary aims were to determine the effect ofchanges in SID on the amount of scattered radiationat the image receptor, to determine the effect ofchanges in SID on the radiation dose to the patientand to assess any effects of changes in SID on thequality of the images. The study was performed usingMonte Carlo simulation, employing EGSnrcMP and PCXMC.The Monte Carlo codes were benchmarked againstindependent experimental studies and shown to giveexcellent agreement. The conclusion was that forimaging of the trunk, other than the chest, the useof an SID of 150 cm will enable optimization of dosesto patients. To optimize image quality and patientdose, a number of recommendations are made fortechnological improvements and for clinical practice.…
