Measured and Calculated Doses of Transmitted and Reflected Radiation in the Energy Range of X-Ray Diagnostic Apparatuses

Measured and calculated doses of transmitted and reflected X ray radiation were compared. Calculated doses were obtained using the Monte Carlo program GEANT and a model of X ray radiation transmission/reflection. X Ray radiation load on the patient was decreased using filtering of soft (non-working)...

Description
Summary:Measured and calculated doses of transmitted and reflected X ray radiation were compared. Calculated doses were obtained using the Monte Carlo program GEANT and a model of X ray radiation transmission/reflection. X Ray radiation load on the patient was decreased using filtering of soft (non-working) range of the X ray spectrum (
