Evaluation Effective Dose for Patients Undergoing Dental X-Ray Examination by Edrees M. Tahir Nury, Bayan Saber Ibrahim

“…The specific objectives of this study include investigation of ESD using Thermo Luminescent Dosimeter (TLD-100) for patients undergoing dental x-ray examination.Patients and methods: ESD was measured using LiF Thermo Luminescent Dosimeters (TLD- 100) on the skin (either mandibular or maxillary arcs) for all patients. Monte Carlo simulation was performed to estimate an effective dose (ED) by using PCXMC Dose Calculation software. …”
