Protective measures may be ignored for these examinations due to stressful emergency situations or patients' conditions. This study was conducted to evaluate the scattered doses received by the pelvis during different common multifield radiographic examinations with an emphasis on field size adjustment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A whole\u2010body phantom, PBU\u201050, resembling the body mass, was used to carry out the common examinations for trauma patients (extremities, skull, chest, abdomen, pelvis, femur, and lumbar radiography), using a Pars Pad X\u2010ray machine. To measure the primary entrance skin doses, three calibrated GR 200 thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) chips were placed in the central X\u2010ray beam of scanned organs. Three TLDs were also placed on the pelvis symphysis pubis to measure the scattered dose received by the pelvis due to each carried\u2010out radiography for standard and clinically used field sizes. A Harshaw 3500 TLD Reader was used to read the chips. TLD readouts (nano\u2010Coulomb) were converted to dose (milli Gray [mGy]) using the predefined calibration curve.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The scattered doses to the pelvis due to scanning a single organ differed from 0.80 to 1.70, and 0.82 to 4.09\u2009mGy for standard and clinically used field sizes, respectively. The scattered doses to the pelvis in multifield examinations varied from 0.80 to 8.43 and 0.82 to 13.6\u2009mGy for standard and clinically used field sizes, respectively, depending on the number of scanned organs and their distances from the pelvis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Multiple and repeated radiographs combined with insufficient protective measures can increase the patient's dose. The findings indicate that the scattered doses received by the pelvis can exceed the reference values in multifield radiography, especially if the radiation field is not restricted properly to the scanned organ.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hsr2.1424","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,20]],"date-time":"2023-07-20T04:59:17Z","timestamp":1689829157000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Pelvic radiation dose measurement for trauma patients in multifield radiographic examinations: A phantom\u2010based TLD dosimetry study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Ameneh","family":"Peiro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Physics, School of Medicine Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences Ahvaz Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6373-5456","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nahid","family":"Chegeni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Physics, School of Medicine Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences Ahvaz Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amir","family":"Danyaei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Physics, School of Medicine Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences Ahvaz Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jafar","family":"Fatahiasl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiologic Technology, School of Allied Medical Sciences Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences Ahvaz Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0797-5049","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marziyeh","family":"Tahmasbi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiologic Technology, School of Allied Medical Sciences Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences Ahvaz Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","unstructured":"Radiation UNSCotEoA.Sources Effects and Risks of Ionizing Radiation.United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) 2020\/2021 Report Volume I: Report to the General Assembly with Scientific Annex A\u2010Evaluation of Medical Exposure to Ionizing Radiation.2022."},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"The 2007 recommendations of the international commission on radiological protection.
