Calibration of EPR signal dose response of tooth enamel to photons: experiment and Monte Carlo simulation.

abstract：:The effective dose E is an efficient and powerful parameter to study the radioprotection of the patient. In our hospital, eight radiological departments and more than 100 radiological X-ray tubes are present. The effective doses were calculated for adults and paediatric patients in 10 standard projections. To calculat...
