Thyroid dose and dose reduction method from CT scan of head and neck
Introduction: Computed tomography (CT) consists of 11% of all imaging methods, but accounts for approximately 67% of radiation exposure due to diagnostic cases. More than one-third of all CT scans are done in the head and neck area. The thyroid gland is irradiated during CT head and neck. According to studies, this gland has the highest levels of radiation-induced cancer, and i...
متن کاملClinical Value of Low Dose CT- Scan in Pediatric Chest Diseases: Adequacy Assessment
Background Radiation dose about 400 times that of standard thoracic computed tomography (CT) in comparison with chest X- ray resulting in different approaches to decrease radiation dose have been established in the last few years to prevent possible side effects especially in children, such as low dose protocols. The aim of this study was assessment of clinical v...
متن کاملEvaluation of image quality and lens's radiation dose of a low-dose cranial CT scan.
OBJECTIVE To determine the lowest miliampere-second (mAs) of a cranial computed tomography (CT) scan that can maintain acceptable image quality on cranial CT scan which might help reducing the risk of cataract formation. MATERIAL AND METHOD The present study was performed on the 148 patients in routine daily practice sent for diagnosis of intracranial conditions by a cranial CT scan. During t...
متن کاملEffect of low dose X-ray on membrane fluidity of thalassemic red blood cells
Background: Chest X-ray is one of the examinations required for an annual health checkup. The interaction of radiation to the medium produces free radicals, which consequently causes biological changes either structural or properties of the cells. Whether the radiation from Chest X-ray upright technique affects the plasma membrane fluidity of thalassemic red blood cells (RBCs) is still unclear....
متن کاملFractional scan algorithms for low-dose perfusion CT.
One of the key considerations in CT perfusion is the X-ray dose received by the patient, since cine acquisition mode is typically used in which repeated x-ray exposure occurs at the same anatomical location. In this technical note, we propose a new approach for dose reduction in which the X-ray tube current is maintained and the number of projection views is reduced per gantry rotation. A proje...
