a 0.5 mm thick lead apron reduces scatter radiation

Sri Devaraj Urs Academy of Higher Education and Research, Kolar, Karnataka The journal is contributing immensely to the society at national and international level.' The other aspect of it is, the readers get the information regarding the most recent developments in science which can be used for teaching, research, treating patients and to some extent take preventive measures against certain diseases. Hence it provides a platform for the scientist and researchers to publish. At the same time the journal also caters for the high quality articles from specialty and super-specialty researchers. It encourages in publishing the scientific articles from postgraduates and also the beginners who start their career. Hemant Jain, for his constant effort in bringing up this journal to the present status right from the scratch. I have been associated with this journal since many years. 'Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research is at present a well-known Indian originated scientific journal which started with a humble beginning. National Joint Coordinator - Advanced IAP NNF NRP ProgramĮx-Member, Governing Body, National Neonatology Forum, New DelhiĮx-President - National Neonatology Forum Gujarat State Chapterĭepartment of Pediatrics, Pramukhswami Medical College, Karamsad, Anand, Gujarat. Head, Department of Pediatrics, Pramukhswami Medical College, KaramsadĬhairman, Research Group, Charutar Arogya Mandal, Karamsad We have been asked clarifications on several occasions and have been happy to provide them and it exemplifies the commitment to quality of the team at JCDR.' The ease of submission, the rapid reviews in under a month, the high quality of their reviewers and keen attention to the final process of proofs and publication, ensure that there are no mistakes in the final article. Having published in more than 20 high impact journals over the last five years including several high impact ones and reviewing articles for even more journals across my fields of interest, we value our published work in JCDR for their high standards in publishing scientific articles. 'Over the last few years, we have published our research regularly in Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research.

I wish all success to your journal and look forward to sending you any suitable similar article in future' I would also like to thank you for adjusting the money I paid initially into payment for my modified article,and refunding the balance. Previously published effective doses, inferred from nonclinically determined radiation transmission factors, probably overestimate the actual dose levels.'Thank you very much for having published my article in record time.I would like to compliment you and your entire staff for your promptness, courtesy, and willingness to be customer friendly, which is quite unusual.I was given your reference by a colleague in pathology,and was able to directly phone your editorial office for clarifications.I would particularly like to thank the publication managers and the Assistant Editor who were following up my article. The effectiveness of 0.5-mm-thick lead-equivalent aprons, determined with clinical measurements, agrees with estimates based on generating potential. The typical radiation attenuation factor for 0.5-mm-thick lead-equivalent aprons was 200. On the basis of measurements obtained under clinical conditions in vascular radiology, attenuation factors between 70 and 280 were derived. The generating potential in fluoroscopy-weighted for the contribution to the occupational exposure-varied between about 70 and 95 kV per examination (average, 78 kV). In addition, measurements of the radiation attenuation of aprons were performed in simulated exposure conditions. Dose measurements in clinical practice were complemented with real-time measurement of generating potential, dose-area product, and fluoroscopy time. Thermoluminescent dosimeters of high and normal sensitivities (detection levels of 1 and 10 microGy, respectively) were used. The radiation dose to radiology personnel was measured under and over lead aprons in more than 100 patient examinations. To determine the effectiveness of 0.5-mm-thick lead-equivalent aprons in vascular radiology.
