Determination of the risk associated with the natural and anthropogenic radionuclides from the soil of Skardu in Central Karakoram 21 Aug 2013 | 07:13 pm
The radioactivity levels were determined in 39 soil samples from six towns of Skardu using gamma-ray spectrometry. The samples were collected at an average altitude of 2293 m above sea level in Centra...
Indoor radon concentration measurements in some dwellings of the Penisola Sorrentina, South Italy 21 Aug 2013 | 07:13 pm
In this study, the indoor radon concentrations have been measured in 93 dwellings of the Penisola Sorrentina, using LR115 detectors. The detectors were placed in the bedrooms and living rooms for two ...
Fate of radionuclides present in Indian fly ashes on its application as soil ameliorant 21 Aug 2013 | 07:13 pm
Natural radioactivity depends primarily on the geological and geographical conditions, and appears at different levels in the soils. Coal contains various organic and inorganic substances including tr...
A case of occupational internal contamination with 241Am 21 Aug 2013 | 07:13 pm
An internal contamination with 241Am was detected in a worker during a routine monitoring of workers from a company producing Am sources for smoke detectors and Am–Be neutron sources. During the 4-yea...
Compatibility characteristics of five radiographic films utilised in Brazilian diagnostic radiology 21 Aug 2013 | 07:13 pm
To evaluate the quality of the radiographic films in Brazil, according to the recommendations of ISO 9236-1, a radiographic images simulator was used. A study of the control of the quality in radiogra...
Mammography equipment performance, image quality and mean glandular dose in Malta 21 Aug 2013 | 07:13 pm
In this first Maltese national mammography survey, the effectiveness of direct digital (DR) mammography in breast cancer screening has been confirmed. Patient data were made available from three clini...
Estimation of organ and effective doses from newborn radiography of the chest and abdomen 21 Aug 2013 | 07:13 pm
Neonatal intensive care patients undergo frequent chest and abdomen radiographic imaging. In this study, the organ doses and the effective dose resulting from combined chest–abdomen radiography of the...
Evaluation of absorbed and effective doses to patients from radiopharmaceuticals using the ICRP 110 reference computational phantoms and ICRP 103 form... 21 Aug 2013 | 07:13 pm
In diagnostic nuclear medicine, mean absorbed doses to patients' organs and effective doses are published for standard stylised anatomic models. To provide more realistic and detailed geometries of th...
A Bayesian analysis of uncertainties on lung doses resulting from occupational exposures to uranium 21 Aug 2013 | 07:13 pm
In a recent epidemiological study, Bayesian estimates of lung doses were calculated in order to determine a possible association between lung dose and lung cancer incidence resulting from occupational...
Estimating the risk of cancer and the hazardous index due to radiation from the phosphate mine in Russifa area 21 Aug 2013 | 07:13 pm
Phosphate mines are considered prone to high radioactivity. The Russifa area contains one of the largest phosphate mines in Jordan. The hazardous index is high at 1.503 and 1.24, while the radium equi...
