EXPOSURE FREQUENCY AND LEVELS DUE TO THE EXAMINATION METHODS USING IONIZING SOURCES FOR THE PATIENTS AND POPULATION OF RUSSIA
Abstract
The article shows that less-informative routine examination methods form the basis of X-ray diagnostics in Russia (95.4%), unlike in the developed countries. The input of digital technologies into routine examinations is only 4.5%, and into occupational dose due to X-ray examinations is 2.5%. The distinction of national X-ray examinations is the use of large scale preventive photofluorographic examinations of chest organs (one third of all X-ray examinations); only a quarter of them are performed with the use of low-dose digital technologies. Negative trends of radionuclide diagnostics are revealed. It is determined that the trend of decreasing of the patient and population occupational dose due to X-ray examinations in the 2000s is not associated with the patient radiation protection optimization. Areas of X-ray examination, in which measures for patient radiation protection must be implemented primarily, are determined.
