Abstract

A study on the analysis of radiation adsorption dose during cranium examination with a grid was carried out at the Radiology Installation of Raden Mattaher Regional Hospital, Jambi. This study aims to determine the effect of high voltage on the radiation adsorption doses received by patients during cranium examinations with a grid and to compare the absorbency dose values obtained on the basis of standard stresses. Results indicate the effect of radiation absorbance dose on voltage. When the utilised voltage (kV) is high, the value of the produced radiation absorbance dose will be small. In the high voltage (kV) irradiation technique with phantom cranium objects, the measured dose range is 0.0856012-0.09441567 mGy. In standard irradiation (kV), the measured dose range is 0.0642225-0.3034403 mGy. The radiation absorbance dose value received by the patients during cranium examination at the Radiology Installation of the Raden Mattaher Regional General Hospital in Jambi is still far below 0.4 mGy, which is the maximum limit allowed by the Nuclear Energy Supervisory Agency.
