CT fluoroscopy shielding: decreases in scattered radiation for the patient and operator.
PURPOSE High-radiation exposure occurs during computed tomographic (CT) fluoroscopy. Patient and operator doses during thoracic and abdominal interventional procedures were studied in the present experiment, and a novel shielding device to reduce exposure to the patient and operator was evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS With a 16-slice CT scanner in CT fluoroscopy mode (120 kVp, 30 mA), surfac...

متن کاملRadiation Protection in CT Fluoroscopy
This article discusses the dose to the operator and radiation protection in computed tomographic fluoroscopy (CTF)-guided intervention. One of the major limitations of CTF is excessive radiation exposure to the operator, in particular, to his or her hands. Therefore, we developed biopsy needle-holders that permit the operator to manipulate the needle without placing his or her hands in the dire...
متن کاملCalculation of the Scattered Radiation Profile in 64 Slice CT Scanners Using Experimental Measurement
Introduction: One of the most important parameters in x-ray CT imaging is the noise induced by detected scattered radiation. The detected scattered radiation is completely dependent on the scanner geometry as well as size, shape and material of the scanned object. The magnitude and spatial distribution of the scattered radiation in x-ray CT should be quantified for development of robust scatter...
متن کاملStudy of scattered radiation during fluoroscopy in hip surgery*
OBJECTIVE To measure the scattered radiation dose at different positions simulating hip surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS We simulated fluoroscopy-assisted hip surgery in order to study the distribution of scattered radiation in the operating room. To simulate the patient, we used a anthropomorphic whole-body phantom, and we used an X-ray-specific detector to quantify the radiation. Radiographs ...
