Description

Object of study: quality control program of X-ray examinations, the patient's doses for X-ray examinations, quality control method of X-ray images, and the optimization of patient's exposure. Purpose: the optimization of patients' radiation protection by development of comprehensive quality assurance program for different types of examination in diagnostic radiology. Methods and equipment: dosimetrical, sociological, methods of mathematical statistics; thermolyuminestsent unit PCL-3, dosimetrical set TRIAD model 10100, digital X-ray dosimeter ДРЦ-01, phantom FLURO for image quality control in radiography and fluoroscopy. Theoretical and practical results: it was systematized information concerning the requirements of quality control programs for medical diagnostic exposure and optimization of patients' radiation protection; it was investigated and approbated methodological approaches to quality control fluoroscopic and mammographic equipment, it was evaluated the possibility of using the test objects to control the parameters of X-ray image detectors. A survey of radiological service of Ukraine was undertaken on X-ray diagnostic equipment and procedures; it was held the control of radiation technical parameters and image quality using test objects for 6 fluoroscopic and 2 mammography units in 3 medical hospitals in Kharkiv; it was approbated the evaluation methods of patients' doses to three types fluoroscopic examinations and determinate the average glandular dose to the breast during mammography. Novelty: the questionnaire for structure of radiological examinations in special medical institution and X-ray units were developed. The evaluation method of patients' exposure doses for fluoroscopic examinations was developed. Efficiency: the implementation of the studies results will allow a high degree of probability to assess the risks of radiation-induced tumors and promote activities to optimize the diagnostic exposure of the population. Scope (area) of use: radiation hygiene, x-ray diagnostics.
