Ultra-Low Radiation Dose Renal CT Examinations
These efforts include the development of customized protocols that take into account the patient’s age, body mass and clinical indication. This allows for lower dose scan parameters and targeted scanning to cover only the region of interest and thereby limit oversampling. In addition, new iterative image reconstruction techniques can improve image quality on low dose, higher noise CT scans. As ...
متن کاملRadiation Exposure from CT Examinations in Japan
BACKGROUND Computed tomography (CT) is the largest source of medical radiation exposure to the general population, and is considered a potential source of increased cancer risk. The aim of this study was to assess the current situation of CT use in Japan, and to investigate variations in radiation exposure in CT studies among institutions and scanners. METHODS Data-sheets were sent to all 126...
متن کاملAutomated extraction of radiation dose information for CT examinations.
Exposure to radiation as a result of medical imaging is currently in the spotlight, receiving attention from Congress as well as the lay press. Although scanner manufacturers are moving toward including effective dose information in the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine headers of imaging studies, there is a vast repository of retrospective CT data at every imaging center that stor...
متن کاملLess Exposure to Radiation During CT Perfusion Examinations
So-called perfusion examinations using a computer tomograph are very helpful for quickly making an accurate diagnosis following a stroke. However, they expose the patient to radiation. Dr. Rainer Raupach, who works on the development of new medical technology systems at the Siemens plant in Forchheim, has discovered a new method of image processing that reduces the radiation exposure by up to 7...
متن کاملIatrogenic Damage to the Periodontium Caused by Radiation and Radiotherapy
The radio-sensitivity of a tissue or organ is measured by its response to irradiation. Loss of moderate numbers of cells does not affect the function of most organs. However, with loss of large numbers of cells, all affected organisms display a clinical result. The severity of this change depends on the dosage and thus the extent of cell loss. Moderate doses to a localized area may lead to repa...
