An examination of organ equivalent and effective doses from diagnostic radiology procedures

A Survey of Organ Equivalent and Effective Doses from Diagnostic Radiology Procedures

The quantification of radiation risks associated with radiological examinations has been a subject of interest with the increased use of X-rays. Effective dose, which is a risk-weighted measure of radiation to organs in the body associated with radiological examination, is considered a good indicator of radiological risk. We have therefore investigated patient effective doses from radiological ...

Patient Effective Doses in Diagnostic Radiology

Effective doses in radiology and diagnostic nuclear medicine: a catalog.

Medical uses of radiation have grown very rapidly over the past decade, and, as of 2007, medical uses represent the largest source of exposure to the U.S. population. Most physicians have difficulty assessing the magnitude of exposure or potential risk. Effective dose provides an approximate indicator of potential detriment from ionizing radiation and should be used as one parameter in evaluati...

Interventional Radiology: Vascular Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures

For the most part, a system of component coding is used in these cases, in order to accurately describe the separately identifiable surgical and imaging services performed by the radiologist. In this way, the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code structure recognizes that there can be variations in the services performed during diagnostic angiography and vascular transcatheter therapies, wh...
