With the objective of reducing patient exposure to radiation, we conducted a questionnaire survey regarding radiographic conditions in 2014. Here we report estimates of dose exposure in general radiography and mammography through an investigation ...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the maternal and foetal effective doses during foetal computed tomography (CT) and to compare the radiation dose, dose profile and image noise on 80-row CT in helical scanning mode and 320-row CT in wide-v...
