Abstract

The local DRL for Dr. Moewardi Hospital is used as a control of patient radiation safety and to measure the quality of radiological examinations conducted at the Radiology Installation of Dr. Moewardi Hospital. The study conducted an assessment on a conventional examination with a General Radiography X-ray plane. The research methodology used was a quantitative approach by using a sample of 30 patients in each examination. X-ray machine data collection was conducted by looking for the Entrance Surface Air Kerma (ESAK) equation, then inputting the patients' data of kV, mAs, FSD, and BSF into the ESAK equation to obtain Entrance Surface Dose (ESD) value of each patient. From ESD data, DRLs were made for each examination using the 3rd quartile data. The results of the study indicated that the local DRL of Dr. Moewardi Hospital was lower than the National DRL of BAPETEN

Abstract

IntroductionRadiation aprons are essential protective equipment in radiology, and the Regulation of the Head of BAPETEN No. 4 of 2020 requires aprons in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology units to provide protection equivalent to 0.25 mmPb, 0.35 mmPb, or 0.5 mmPb. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of mixed-material radiation aprons at Dr. Moewardi Hospital by analyzing their attenuation coefficients. MethodsThis study assessed several apron brands available in the Radiology Installation and Cathlab Unit. Measurements were performed using a GE Proteus X-ray machine and a Raysafe X-ray Multimeter Detector. The X-ray parameters were set at 100 kV, 10 mAs, 100 cm tube-to-detector distance, and a 5 × 5 cm irradiation field, with variations in apron thickness. The reference attenuation coefficient of Pb under the same parameters was calculated as 6.32 mm⁻¹. Apron brands tested included Primax 0.35 mmPb, ProteX 0.5 mmPb, Infab 0.25 mmPb, Lead X 0.25 mmPb, Rayshield 0.25 mmPb, Xenolite 0.35 mmPb, and Trucomfii 0.5 mmPb. Results The attenuation coefficients obtained were 4.67 mm⁻¹, 4.49 mm⁻¹, 4.476 mm⁻¹, 3.94 mm⁻¹, 3.04 mm⁻¹, 2.63 mm⁻¹, and 2.22 mm⁻¹, respectively. The highest coefficient was observed in the Lead X 0.25 mmPb apron. All apron attenuation coefficients were lower than the Pb reference value. ConclusionAll mixed-material aprons evaluated demonstrated lower attenuation coefficients compared with pure Pb under identical exposure conditions. These findings indicate variability in protective performance across brands, highlighting the need for routine quality assessment to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
