摘要

这项调查的目的是确定巴士拉市牙医和辅助人员每年的平均有效剂量。此外，我们的目标是将平均年有效剂量与国际放射防护委员会规定的限值进行比较。剂量测量使用热释光剂量计（TLD-200）放置在所有参与者的围裙在胸部水平。结果显示，牙医的年平均有效剂量为5.623毫西弗/年，助理的年平均有效剂量为5.279毫西弗/年。大多数测量到的年剂量远低于国际建议的20毫西弗/年限值。值得注意的是，与牙医相比，综合医院的助理往往接受更高的辐射剂量。这一现象主要归因于放射治疗频率的增加和综合医院患者吞吐量的提高。尽管如此，实施先进的防护设备、定期监测和结构良好的辐射安全协议有助于降低暴露风险。

Evaluation of X-ray radiation exposure in open dental clinics for dentists and assistants using TL-dosimeters

The objective of this investigation is to determine the average effective dosage for dentists and assisting personnel in Basrah city each year. Additionally, we aim to compare the average annual effective doses with the limits set by the International Commission on Radiological Protection. The doses were measured using thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLD-200) placed over the apron at the chest level in all participants. The results showed that the average annual effective doses were 5.623 mSv/y for dentists and 5.279 mSv/y for assistants. Most of the measured annual doses were well below the internationally recommended limit of 20 mSv/y. Notably, assistants in general hospitals tended to receive higher radiation doses compared to dentists. This phenomenon can be attributed primarily to the increased frequency of radiological procedures and the higher patient throughput typical of general hospitals. Despite this, implementing advanced protective equipment, regular monitoring, and well-structured radiation safety protocols helps mitigate exposure risks.

期刊介绍： Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment. The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
