8 Exposure Exposure is the amount of charge liberated per kilogram of air by the x-ray beam SI unit: C/kg Conventional Unit: roentgen (R), 1 R = 2.58 x 10-4 C/kg Defined only for photons with energy less than 3 MeV Not used for electrons, neutrons, protons or alpha particles. Obeys the inverse square law Useful for measuring film exposure but is a poor assessment of radiation risk Exposure Air X-ray source + - e - e - e - e - e - Ionization Chamber Exposure X-ray source Exposure Tells us nothing about how much energy is absorbed by the tissue being irradiated. Limited utility for evaluating the biologic effects of radiation. Patient Ionization Chamber Film/Screen Cassette Kerma Kinetic Energy Released in MediA (Kerma) measures the energy released into the media by the photon beam SI unit: gray (Gy) = J/kg Conventional Unit: none Air Kerma, J/kg in air, may replace exposure, C/ kg, as a measure of exposure We are interested in the soft tissue Kerma Absorbed Dose Absorbed dose is a measure of the amount of radiation energy absorbed per unit mass of a medium. SI unit: gray (Gy) = J/kg Non SI unit: rad = 10 mgy (i.e. Gy = 100 rad) At diagnostic energies an air Kerma of 1 mgy results in an absorbed dose of approximately 1 mgy in soft tissue 1368
9 f-factor The f-factor is a conversion factor between exposure, X (C/kg), and absorbed dose, D (Gy or J/kg) D = f x X At diagnostic x-ray energies f is approximately 1.

Wazer, Ca Absorbed Dose X-ray source Absorbed Dose X-ray source X-ray source Scatter Patient s right hand Scatter Patient s left hand Scatter e - Patient e - e - Ionization Chamber Film/Screen Cassette Same absorbed dose whether a single or both hands are imaged. Absorbed dose is calculated per kilogram! Absorbed Dose The absorbed dose is a better measure of the radiation risk Absorbed dose is useful in evaluating the deterministic effects of radiation (e.g. skin injury, cataract formation, etc.) Absorbed dose does not take into account where in the body the radiation dose is absorbed or the relative radiosensitivity of the tissue being irradiated Equivalent Dose Equivalent dose, H, takes into account the type of radiation Different types of radiation (e.g. high LET, low LET and ionizing EM radiation) have different weighting factors, W R The units of equivalent dose SI Unit is the seivert: 1 Sv = 1 J/kg The non-si unit is the rem (radiation equivalent man): 1 rem = 10 msv or 1 Sv = 100 rem 1369
10 Weighting Factors, W R Equivalent Dose The radiation weighting factors, W R, are conversion factors between absorbed dose, D (Gy) and equivalent dose, H (Sv) H = W R x D For diagnostic x-ray energies W R is 1. H = D Effective Dose Effective dose takes into account where the radiation dose is being absorbed The effective dose attempts to reflect the equivalent whole-body dose that would result in an equivalent stochastic risk (e.g. cancer or genetic risk) from the actual absorbed dose to those tissues irradiated in a non-uniform, partial body irradiation The unit of effective dose SI Unit is the seivert: 1 Sv = 1 J/kg The non-si unit is the rem (radiation equivalent man): 1 rem = 10 msv or 1 Sv = 100 rem Effective Dose Effective dose (E) is given by the following E = Σ T (w T x H T,R ) where, w T is the tissue weighting factor for tissue T and H T is the equivalent dose of tissue T Tissue Weighting Factors Effective Doses from Radiation Protection 118: Referral Guidelines for Imaging, Published by the European Commission, 2001 Ref: Estimating Effective Dose in CT, AJR 2010; 194:

Radiology 2004; 231: Understand the biases of the sources of information you use to make these decisions. Why Perform CT When MRI Is Safer -- and Perhaps Better MRI is an imaging modality that is considerably safer than CT on the basis of a number of factors, of which radiation exposure is perhaps the most serious. In addition, MRI may actually be much more accurate in describing disease. Richard C.
