The subject of this study is to determine the radiation dose exposure to the sublingual glands and submandibular glands during c-arm fluoroscopy imaging by measuring them with dosimeters (TLD-100). The results of this study will contribute to understanding the effects of radiation exposure on the human body. Data for the research was collected by measuring the radiation exposure at specific time intervals: 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8 minutes. Measurements were taken for three regions: right and left submandibular glands, and sublingual gland. The maximum radiation exposure for the right submandibular gland at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8 seconds were 1294, 3119, 5916, 11925, and 21274 microSieverts (μSv) respectively. The maximum radiation exposure for the left submandibular gland at the same intervals were 877, 2104, 3704, 7816, and 14618 μSv respectively. For the sublingual gland, the maximum radiation exposure at these intervals were 958, 2081, 3815, 8332, and 14128 μSv respectively. |
