title: [A study of absorbed x-ray doses and protection to critical organs of the head and neck during siaglography]
abstract: A tissue equivalent phantom was used in the study and absored x-ray doses.It measuring for some important organs of head and neck by four routive sialography methods (panoramic conventional x-ray radioagraphy,tomography,fluoroscope,CT) and also the X-ray absorbed doses of thyroid and len when lead containing loop and spectacles of head containing glass were used for prevention.All the data were processed statistically and a compartive study of absorbed x-ray doses of four sialography methods:Doses of submandibular gland were higher in CT,tomography and fluoroscope among them,CT was the highest indicating that it was superior to other methods for accurately locating that it was superior to other methods for accurately locating the within-gland tumor.Fluoroscope will be use more frequently in clinic,because it can observe the living gland panoramic and normal radiography can be used routinely because they had the minimum doses in measured organs.2.The absorbed x-ray doses of len and thyroid decreased by 93%-% when prevention was taken in CT or fluoroscope,65%-85% doses was decreased in normal radiography or panoramic with prevention.
