Analisis Dosis dan Variasi Expose untuk Aplikasi Ruang ICU

Abstract

Research has been done regarding radiation doses analysis to be applied in the ICU room in form of simulation.. In this research the writer measures direct radiation from distances ranging from 1 meter, 2 meters, and 3 meters, and a variety of exposure factors from 50 kV, 60 kV, and 70 kV and distances of different mA from four sides of an Xray tube as well as using surverymeter tools, with the goal of determining the safe distance for other ICU patients to radiation exposure and determining the safe position for the radiology operator when exposing radiation. The results showed a very strong relationship between the value of mA and strong currents as well as the distance to the value of radiation dose and radiation exposure directly. Which means that the greater the value of mA and strong currents, will made the greater value of the dose and the greater radiation exposure.Parameter changes of strong currents and mA value addition affects the quality of the image also affects to the value of radiation dose received by the patient's and exposure radiation around the ICU
