Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine local diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for patients undergoing intraoral and panoramic dental examinations at the intraoral radiology units of the public hospitals in Najran, Saudi Arabia. DRLs were determined based on measurements of dose area product (DAP) at intraoral and dental panoramic radiology units. This study has covered over 47% of the public hospitals in Najran with the intention to establish the local DRLs for all the possible intraoral and panoramic X-ray examinations for children and adults. For intraoral, the values for the estimated DAP ranged from 6 to 70 mGy.cm2 (average: 27.6, 29.8, 39.9 and 39.6 mGy.cm2 for incisive, both premolar and canine, molar upper and lower jaw, respectively). For panoramic, the mean value of DAP is 61.5 and 89.8 mGy.cm2 for paediatric and adult patients, respectively. DRLs were established at the 3rd quartile for incisive, both premolar and canine, molar upper and lower jaw protocols are 29.2, 37.1, 50.2 and 50.1 mGy.cm2, respectively. Furthermore, DRLs for panoramic radiography for paediatric and adult patients are 72.7 and 92.3 mGy.cm2, respectively. The proposed DRLs were comparable to those previously reported in other countries, such as UK and India.

口腔内和牙科全景成像:沙特阿拉伯使用两种剂量计比较辐射剂量的诊断参考水平研究

本研究的目的是确定在沙特阿拉伯Najran公立医院的口腔内放射科接受口腔内和全景牙科检查的患者的当地诊断参考水平(drl)。drl是根据在口腔内和牙科全景放射单元测量的剂量面积积(DAP)来确定的。这项研究覆盖了Najran超过47%的公立医院，目的是为儿童和成人的所有可能的口内和全景x光检查建立当地的drl。对于口服，DAP的估计值在6到70毫戈瑞之间。(平均:27.6、29.8、39.9和39.6毫戈瑞。锐利，前臼齿和犬齿，臼齿上颌和下颌分别为Cm2)。对于全景，DAP的平均值为61.5和89.8 mGy。儿科和成人患者分别为Cm2。在第3个四分位数建立了锐利，前磨牙和犬牙的drl，磨牙上颌和下颌协议分别为29.2,37.1,50.2和50.1 mGy。分别平方厘米。此外，儿童和成人全景x线摄影的drl分别为72.7和92.3 mGy。分别平方厘米。拟议的drl与以前在英国和印度等其他国家报道的drl相当。
