Abstract

This research aimed at finding out the effect of the patient's age on the absorbed dose obtained during the thorax examination. The observation data used is the exposure factor in the form of the tube voltage (kV), tube current (mA), irradiation time (s), and focus film distance (cm). The age range used is grouped based on the elderly age category established by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia which ranges from 46 years until 85 years of age. From the data on the exposure factor and age of elderly patients, the oneway ANOVA statistical test was conducted. From the results of these statistical tests, the results obtained FCalculate value is 0,201 and sig 0,821 for Thorax AP examination and the results obtained FCalculate value is 0,790 and sig 0,476 for Thorax PA examination with the FTable value is 3,81 and the sig is 0,05. Therefore, based on the testing criteria in statistics of the initial hypothesis (H0) is accepted or it can be concluded that age does not affect the amount of X-ray radiation absorbed dose received by elderly patients in thorax examinations from the age range of 46 years until 85 years.

Abstract

Electromagnetic waves are a type of wave phenomenon. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves that arise due to changes in electric fields and magnetic fields that oscillate with each other. Electromagnetic waves can be generated, one of the ways, from BTS towers so that they can produce intense electromagnetic field radiation. Health problems resulting from exposure to electromagnetic wave radiation cannot be felt directly. However, the longer you are exposed to electromagnetic wave radiation, the more dangerous it will be to your body's health. The aim of this research is to carry out mapping from measuring the intensity of electromagnetic field radiation in the BTS area and to determine the health impact of large electromagnetic field radiation on the surrounding community. Data processing in this research was carried out using quantitative techniques and qualitative techniques, namely by measuring the intensity of the electric field and magnetic field of electromagnetic waves and evaluating the results of the intensity of electromagnetic field radiation as well as conducting interviews as a public health survey. The data obtained in this research was processed using ArcGis and Surfer software for mapping results. Based on the evaluation and mapping results, it shows that the intensity of electromagnetic field radiation is still below the threshold value according to the 2020 ICNIRP standards. Based on the results of this research, there are no significant health effects occurring in the surrounding community.
