Abstract: Quality control (QC) is essential for ensuring that the X-ray images produced by fluoroscopy systems are of sufficient quality to provide adequate diagnostic information consistently with the least possible radiation exposure. However, there are limited data on QC (image quality and radiation exposure) in fluoroscopy systems with over-the-table X-r... Show More

Abstract: The rural Municipality of Vinaninkarena (19°57'21.9"S; 47°02'22.1"E) has abandoned uranium site, located in the Vatovory village. The uranium mining has been exploited by CEA (Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique) French Company between 1946 and 1952. After closing of exploitation, the hazards of internal and external exposures persist, because most o... Show More

Abstract: In this study, the activity concentrations of 121 soil samples gathered from diverse places of Sarıkamış of Kars were found out employing NaI (Tl) gamma spectrometry. It was monitored that the concentration of the natural radionuclides ⁴⁰K, ²²⁶Ra and ²³²Th in the soil samples altered from 148.0±31.2 to 909.2±38.4 Bqkg^-1, BDL to 38.1±8.9 Bqkg^-1 and ... Show More
