Radiation dose reduction during hysterosalpingography: an application of scanning-beam digital radiography. 1986

D C Kushner, and I C Yoder, and R H Cleveland, and T E Herman, and M M Goodsitt

Hysterosalpingography was performed in 31 patients by means of a low-dose scanning-beam digital radiographic system. The technique permits adequate evaluation of gynecologic abnormalities while allowing significant reduction in radiation: 2.4-mR (6.1 X 10(-7) C/kg) exposure to the skin and 0.7-mrad (7 X 10(-6) Gy) mean dose to the ovaries per image obtained. Sixteen patients demonstrated readily recognizable and documented abnormalities, corroborated by laparoscopy, laparotomy, or other supportive evidence.

D007047 Hysterosalpingography Radiography of the uterus and fallopian tubes after the injection of a contrast medium. Salpingography,Hysterosalpingographies,Salpingographies
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.
