Summary
Doses to the salivary glands, thyroid gland, breast, lung, stomach and colon during mass radiologic gastric screening, mass radiographic chest screening, upper gastrointestinal series, and computed tomography were determined by exposing a phantom female human to simulated radiological X-ray examinations in community hospitals. The doses were measured using thermoluminescent dosimeters, and the results will be used to document organ doses received by participants in the ABCC/RERF Adult Health Study.
