INTRODUCTION
Pulmonary X-rays are essential in the diagnostics of lung diseases of children and youth.
Chest radiography represents the majority of radiological examinations.
The starting basis for radiation protection is the exact determination of doses.
![Page 4: Đ. Milković, M. Ranogajec-Komor, S. Miljanić, Ž. Knežević and K. Krpan Children Hospital Srebrnjak Zagreb, Croatia Ruđer Bošković Institute, Zagreb, Croatia](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649f075503460f94c1cc54/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
FEATURES:
very low doses at low and variable energies have to be measured
there exists a considerable variation in radiation doses delivered to patients (different X-ray equipment, different staff, etc.).

AIM
to test a new Shimadzu X-ray unit used for thorax examination of children

Energy dependence in SSDL
Relative dose in air: the mean values of doses measured (Dmeasured) “in air” relative to delivered doses specified as “air-kerma free-in-air” (Ka).On phantom: the mean values of the doses measured on the phantom relative to delivered doses specified as air kerma free-in-air

Doses in diagnostic X-ray unitOn the doll: agreement of the dose values of RPL and TL dosimeters in entrance and exit beams On the water phantom: difference between the mean values measured in the ingoing beam with the two dosimeters
Reason: ▪ different materials of phantoms ▪ different energy absorption characteristics of the two dosimeters (below 50 keV) on water phantom

CONCLUSION
TLD (LiF:Mg, Cu, P )(termoluminiscent dosimeter)
RPL(radiophotoluminiscent glass dosimeter)
![Page 18: Đ. Milković, M. Ranogajec-Komor, S. Miljanić, Ž. Knežević and K. Krpan Children Hospital Srebrnjak Zagreb, Croatia Ruđer Bošković Institute, Zagreb, Croatia](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649f075503460f94c1cc54/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
TLD (LiF: Mg, Cu, P ) (termoluminiscent dosimeter)
High sensitivity
In spite of its anomalous energy dependence nearly tissue- equivalence
Agreement with earlier results
![Page 19: Đ. Milković, M. Ranogajec-Komor, S. Miljanić, Ž. Knežević and K. Krpan Children Hospital Srebrnjak Zagreb, Croatia Ruđer Bošković Institute, Zagreb, Croatia](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649f075503460f94c1cc54/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
RPL (radiophotoluminiscent glass dosimeter)
Higher sensitivityEnergy dependance “in air” is better than for LiF:Mg, Cu, P (33-65 keV mean energies)Energy dependance curve on the water phantom changes in opposite direction than the calculated Hp(10) values
The absolute difference from Hp(10) is not larger than for LiF:Mg, Cu, P

CONCLUSION
The measured dose values in X-ray diagnostic unit are in accordance with the characteristics found in SSDL for both dosimeters.
The RPL system seems to be suitable for dosimetric measurements in X- ray diagnostics.
