Abstract
This article presents a comparative clinical study of digital imaging, as a new technology, and conventional method for X - Ray absorption in lens and thyroid.Clinical examination was performed on 50 patients with an average of 28 years among the cases who were reffered to the department of rediology, Islamic Azad universiy of IRAN in 1999.Two pocket dosimeters were used to meausre the dose rate. One was placed on the skin of thyroid region and the other on the eyes.The results revealed that the absorbed dose in RVG was significantly lower than conventional method (P<0.0001).Digital imaging, as a new technology, is in a state of rapid development.It is a likely that RVG will substute conventional radiography within the near future.
