Abstract :
Objective: Fast and correct diagnosis of the disease is very important in many cases. In X-ray medical imaging, the doctor treats the patient without accessing the inside of the body's organs. Therefore, the standard conditions must be met so that the benefits of using X-rays are greater than its disadvantages. Since the presence of medical personnel in imaging centers is now a necessity, they are therefore vulnerable due to constant exposure to the dangers of X-rays. Assessing the level of risk requires the definition of effective parameters that are associated with uncertainty. In this regard, the aim of the current research is to evaluate the harm of X-rays in diagnosis and treatment in medicine with the help of fuzzy logic.Materials and methods: In this research, by using the fuzzy method, and with the help of graphic tools of MATLAB software, and determining four input parameters and one suitable output parameter, and by determining the rules by an expert and the Mamdani fuzzy inference system, the harms of X-rays for the referring person and The treatment panel was checked for imaging.Findings: Examining the data of six selected medical imaging centers in different cities of Iran showed that all these centers are in the medium range of vulnerability to the dangers of X-ray radiation.Conclusion: It seems that the Ministry of Health and Medicine should take more, continuous and serious care regarding safety and protection in medical centers. Safety points must be fully observed, otherwise, in the long run, the treatment staff will face problems with X-ray radiation.
