| Abstract | Purpose: This study aims to determine the mean and 75th percentile entrance skin dose (ESD Materials and methods: The study determined the digital radiography (DR) X-ray machine output using a calibrated XR Multidetector (silicon photodiode). X-ray machine milliampere-seconds (mAs), peak kilovoltage (kVp), focus to detector distance (FDD) and focus to skin distance (FSD) were used from a previous study. The mean kVp and mAs were 56.63 (52-60) and 5.7 (5-6.3) and the patient thickness was 9.5 (8-11.5) cm. Results: The mean ESDs of the newborn between 0 and 28 days were 0.67 ± 0.09 mGy, and the 75th percentile was 0.75 mGy. The effective dose (E) for the 40 patients was 0.19 mSv and the estimated prenatal cancer risk ranged from (5-24.7) 10 Conclusion: The 75th percentile ESD was the highest compared to the American College of Radiology-American Association of Physicists in Medicine-Society for Pediatric Radiology (ACR-AAPM-SPR), European Commission (EC) and United Kingdom (UK) reports. Comparison of both methods for assessing ESD was within 40% as compared to other studies. Based on the above results, the indirect method can be implemented for clinical dose audit. |
