Abstract

Measurements are reported demonstrating quantitatively the effect of field size on the dose to the patient in diagnostic radiology. These measurements were made mainly at 80 kVp in a phantom 8 in. thick, but some account was taken of changing kilovoltage and phantom thickness. It is shown that the distance from the edge of the beam is the most important factor influencing the dose at a point outside the main beam. By comparison, changing kilovoltage, filtration or even field size as such, has only a small effect. The conclusion is therefore drawn that although field size should be kept to a minimum, more attention should be paid to the proximity of the field edge to vital regions such as the gonads.

Abstract

IN 1956, the Medical Research Council Committee set up to report on the medical aspects of nuclear radiation estimated that luminous watches and clocks increased the population dose of radiation to the gonads by 1 per cent of the natural background1. This estimate was based on the assumption that the average wrist-watch contains about one-fifth of a microcurie of radium. Libby2, reporting a similar investigation, quotes a figure of 1 microcurie of radium per watch as being “perhaps slightly larger than average”.
