Dose reconstruction of x-ray irradiation of the larynx. 1987

L Takácsi-Nagy, and C Weisz, and P Zaránd, and G Németh

The authors have determined the dose distribution in the neck for parallel opposed and three field orthovoltage X-ray irradiation techniques of the larynx. LiF:Mg, Ti rods and pellets combined with film densitometry were used. Absorbed dose measured in the region of vocal chords is about 20% lower than that assessed by assuming full backscatter (perpendicular incidence) and by using standard isodose tables.

D011879 Radiotherapy Dosage The total amount of radiation absorbed by tissues as a result of radiotherapy. Dosage, Radiotherapy,Dosages, Radiotherapy,Radiotherapy Dosages
D011882 Radiotherapy, High-Energy Radiotherapy using high-energy (megavolt or higher) ionizing radiation. Types of radiation include gamma rays, produced by a radioisotope within a teletherapy unit; x-rays, electrons, protons, alpha particles (helium ions) and heavy charged ions, produced by particle acceleration; and neutrons and pi-mesons (pions), produced as secondary particles following bombardment of a target with a primary particle.

D005373 Film Dosimetry Use of a device (film badge) for measuring exposure of individuals to radiation. It is usually made of metal, plastic, or paper and loaded with one or more pieces of x-ray film.
