[Medical exposure from computed tomographic examination -a recommendation of dosimetry by film method-].

Already, the 30 year have passed since that the CT scanner was developed by Hunsfield. And now above 16,000 sets are at work. On the other hand, as the improvements of image reconstruction algorithm and variations os scan method, the medical exposure is increasing.

[Patient skin dose in interventional radiology using radiochromic dosimetry film].

Various types of X-ray examinations are currently being carried out for the purpose of diagnosis. However, since dose limits for contamination by medical examinations have not been set, management of dose measurements and contamination records is called for. With increasing use of the IVR technique, reports of radiation injury and the symptoms associated with it have become more common.

[Radiation exposure in CT].

The use of CT has increased rapidly in the past two decades, in part because of the development of helical CT and multidetector row CT. The benefits obtained by CT are not, however, without risks. This paper emphasizes the importance of keeping radiation doses during CT procedures as low as reasonably possible, especially for pediatric and small adult patients.
