Abstract

Mortality evaluation of Covid-19 patients in comorbid diabetes mellitus and stroke using x-ray technology. Examining patients using an x-ray was carried out in the radiology room at one of the Covid-19 referral hospitals in Makassar. The patient data used is Covid-19 mortality data, namely January-June 2021. Diabetes mellitus and stroke comorbidities significantly affect the mortality of Covid-19 patients. Comorbid diabetes mellitus has a significant effect on the mortality of Covid-19 patients. The age group ≥ 61 years old is exposed to Covid-19 and has a high mortality rate.

Abstract

The compliance test of X-ray beam quality using HVL parameter on digital mammography was determined at a hospital in Makassar in 2019-2021. This measurement uses a ruler, X-ray multimeter, and aluminum filter. The exposure process is carried out at certain kVp and mAs conditions after placing the detector on the examination table. The HVL test to determine the X-ray beam quality is carried out by placing the detector 4 cm from the edge of the chest wall on the patient's table in an upright position facing the tube. The resulting HVL values ​​are 0.37, 0.37, and 0.38. This study resulted in a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). Statistically, there is a significant difference in HVL values ​​in 2019-2021. The resulting HVL value is by the tolerance limit recommended by the IAEA, which is 0.31 ≤ HVL ≤ 0.58. These values ​​indicate that mammography works well, and it is safe for the patient.

Abstract

This research was carried out using a literature review method to determine radioprotection cases and repeatability factors of dental images on dental X-rays. Determination of the repeatability factor for dental photographs using data over three months obtained at Rajawali Citra Hospital, RSUD Dr. Tjitrowardojo Purworejo, and RSUD Muntilan Magelang. Case A, case B, and case C produce high percentage values. This is because dental practitioners consider the provision of protection in reducing the scattered dose of dental X-rays for patients to be often overlooked. Determination of X-ray radiation exposure given by a radiographer does not have significant differences for each patient, such as thin, standard, and obese. Meanwhile, the data on the percentage value of repetition of dental images exceeds the Minimum Hospital Service Standard indicator limit by the Decree of the Minister of Health Number 129 of 2008 concerning the incidence of X-ray service failure, which has a photo failure standard of ≤ 2%. The highest position factor was obtained at Hospital-2 at 75%, and the lowest was obtained at Hospital-1 at 50%. Meanwhile, the highest exposure factor was obtained at Hospital-1 at 39% and the weakest at Hospital-2 at 25%. Position errors made by the radiographer cause position factors, and exposure errors are caused by exposure factors that are too high or low.
