Abstract

This research was carried out using a literature review method to determine radioprotection cases and repeatability factors of dental images on dental X-rays. Determination of the repeatability factor for dental photographs using data over three months obtained at Rajawali Citra Hospital, RSUD Dr. Tjitrowardojo Purworejo, and RSUD Muntilan Magelang. Case A, case B, and case C produce high percentage values. This is because dental practitioners consider the provision of protection in reducing the scattered dose of dental X-rays for patients to be often overlooked. Determination of X-ray radiation exposure given by a radiographer does not have significant differences for each patient, such as thin, standard, and obese. Meanwhile, the data on the percentage value of repetition of dental images exceeds the Minimum Hospital Service Standard indicator limit by the Decree of the Minister of Health Number 129 of 2008 concerning the incidence of X-ray service failure, which has a photo failure standard of ≤ 2%. The highest position factor was obtained at Hospital-2 at 75%, and the lowest was obtained at Hospital-1 at 50%. Meanwhile, the highest exposure factor was obtained at Hospital-1 at 39% and the weakest at Hospital-2 at 25%. Position errors made by the radiographer cause position factors, and exposure errors are caused by exposure factors that are too high or low.

Abstract

The spectrum emitted by electromagnetic wave radiation has various frequencies, one of which is Extremely Low Frequency (ELF), and is often found in educational environments, originating from various electronic devices, high voltage electrical panels, and internet network supporting devices. Based on this description, it is necessary to measure ELF electromagnetic radiation in the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences environment at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo. This research was carried out by measuring magnetic field values (µT) at 42 location points using a Portable Electromagnetic Field Tester (EMF Tester). The research results show that all of these location points are within the safe threshold based on ICNIRP and WHO regulations, namely below 200 µT, with the highest ELF magnetic field value is 2.81 µT, and the lowest ELF magnetic field value is 0.003 µT. However, there are several studies showing that exposure to ELF electromagnetic field radiation can produce free radicals, causing cell damage. The results of this research can be used as a basis for making health policies for the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences academic community at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo.
