Assessment of scattered and leakage radiation from ultra-portable X-ray systems in chest imaging: An independent study.
Ultraportable (UP) X-ray devices are ideal to use in community-based settings, particularly for chest X-ray (CXR) screening of tuberculosis (TB).Unfortunately, there is insufficient guidance on the radiation safety of these devices.This study aims to determine the radiation dose by UP X-ray devices to both the public and radiographers compared to i
