  • This study aims to find geometric parameters that the radiologist can change from time to time to reduce dose in angiography examinations. Depending on the geometric characteristics, the values calculated by effective dose were compared, while filming in fluoroscopy mode and Digital subtraction angiography, respectively. The study found that the lower the dose was in FPS mode, the lower the dose was reduced to 30-40%. Doses according to the X-ray angle were measured highest in AP View and lower as the angle went in the head direction. The greater the FOV, the higher the dose was 1.2-1.6 times, and the closer the distance between the X-ray tube and the table, the greater the dose was about 10%. Source-image intensifier distance (SID) get longer to 100 mm, dose of each fluoroscopy and Digital subtraction angiography increase up to 25-30%. In conclusion, various geometric characteristics in angiography examinations are parameters that can be applied by radiographers as frequently as possible, and appropriate geometric properties can be considered and applied in various situations, resulting in appropriate dose reduction.

  • Due to their excellence for the high-energy therapy range of photon beams, researchers show increasing interest in applying MOSFET dosimeters to low- and medium-energy applications. In this energy range, however, MOSFET dosimeter is complicated by the fact that the interaction probability of photons shows significant dependence on the atomic number, Z, due to photoelectric effect. The objective of this study is to develop a very detailed 3-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation model of a MOSFET dosimeter for radiological characterizations and calibrations. The sensitive volume of the High-Sensitivity MOSFET dosimeter is very thin (1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) and the standard MCNP tallies do not accurately determine absorbed dose to the sensitive volume. Therefore, we need to score the energy deposition directly from electrons. The developed model was then used to study various radiological characteristics of the MOSFET dosimeter. the energy dependence was quantified for the energy range 15 keV to 6 MeV; finding maximum dependence of 6.6 at about 40 keV. A commercial computer code, Sabrina, was used to read the particle track information from an MCNP simulation and count the tracks of simulated electrons. The MOSFET dosimeter estimated the calibration factor by 1.16 when the dosimeter was at 15 cm depth in tissue phantom for 662 keV incident photons. Our results showed that the MOSFET dosimeter estimated by 1.11 for 1.25 MeV photons for the same condition.

  • The purpose of this study is that in measures the acoustic propagate characteristics and temperature sensitivity of ultrasound tissue mimicking phantom(TM phantom). TM phantom manufacture according to the International Electronical Committee(IEC) guidelines for acoustic propagate characteristics of soft tissue. TM phantom was observed to have the image brightness and the image depth penetration decreases changes convergence which was the subject of ultrasound image characteristics in accordance with an external temperature that the change is reduced in temperature below $22^{\circ}C$. This study provide a basis t o create another TM Phantom and TM Phantom has been determined that it is appropriate for use in more than $22^{\circ}C$.

  • Molar-incisor malformation (MIM) is a recently described dental anomaly characterized by root malformation in permanent first molars accompanied sometimes by abnormal root forms in primary second molars or enamel defects in maxillary central incisors. This report presents three cases of MIM along with a review of previous studies. Three patients exhibited abnormal root forms in the permanent first molars, with varying degrees of deformation. Two of the patients experienced medical events at birth. One of the patients was a monozygotic twin, whose twin sister exhibited normal dentition without any significant abnormalities. The present report also reviews recently reported cases of MIM in literature. In the management of MIM-associated clinical issues, consideration of microscopic features and accompanying characteristics might facilitate early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment planning.
