Resumo(s)
The main goal of this research was to quantify
scatter radiation exposure from mobile x-ray
examinations. The simulation consisted of reproducing the technical conditions for the chest anteroposterior (AP) examination in supine and semi-supine
positions as well as for the abdomen tangential projection, using a full body anthropomorphic phantom and
an x-ray detector. For distances above 1m, the national
dose limits for exposed workers is not exceeded (12
mSv/year), but for members of the public it is exceeded
(2 mSv/year). Therefore, exposed workers should use a
personal dosimeter, employ protective measures and
stand behind the mobile equipment.
The use of ionising radiation for diagnostic and
treatment purposes has increased due to the development of new equipment and easier access to radiologic examinations.
