Hysterosalpingography using a digital and conventional image intensification technique was carried out on two groups of 32 patients as part of investigation for infertility. Radiation dose was recorded as surface dose. In 51.7% of digital images and 54.8% of conventional images the findings were normal. Surface dose with conventional technique was 442 +/- 144 cGy/cm2, significantly higher than 207 +/- 113 cGy/cm2 with digital image intensification. The number of exposures was also significantly higher when using the conventional technique. The digital images showed no lack of diagnostic detail when compared with the conventional 100 mm films.

D011829 Radiation Dosage The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).

D011856 Radiographic Image Enhancement Improvement in the quality of an x-ray image by use of an intensifying screen, tube, or filter and by optimum exposure techniques.
