Research on the determination of effective dose received by worker having X-ray chest examination has been carried out at PSPKR. Calculation of effective dose was based on skin entrance dose measured directly using thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) TLD-900 (CaSO4:Dy) chip-type. Then 20 men undergoing X-ray chest examination at PSPKR were taken as samples. For those samples, the skin entrance d…
As a recognized Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory (SSDL) under IAEA coordination, National Calibration Facility of BATAN, also known as SSDL Jakarta, has been equipped with NPL dosimeter system for secondary standard therapy level together with Co-60 and X-ray therapy machines. The dosimeter system is calibrated periodicaly by the Primary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory (PSDL). So far the E…
Study on the effects of aluminium (Al) filter on the measured peak-voltage (kVp) and dose of X-ray diagnostic has been carried out in the Center for Standardization and Radiation Safety Research (PSPKR), Batan, Diagnostic X-ray machine Tanka Model RTO-125 was used in this experiment. Aluminium (Al) filter having high purity of 99.2 percent made in Nilaco, Japan, was used. Peak-voltage (kVp) was…
