Cumulative exposure to ionizing radiation from diagnostic and therapeutic cardiac imaging procedures: a population-based analysis.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to describe radiation exposure from cardiac imaging procedures over time in a general population. BACKGROUND Cardiac imaging procedures frequently expose patients to ionizing radiation, but their contribution to effective doses of radiation in the general population is unknown. METHODS We used administrative claims to identify cardiac imaging procedu...
متن کاملExposure to low-dose ionizing radiation from medical imaging procedures.
BACKGROUND The growing use of imaging procedures in the United States has raised concerns about exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation in the general population. METHODS We identified 952,420 nonelderly adults (between 18 and 64 years of age) in five health care markets across the United States between January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2007. Utilization data were used to estimate cumulative ...
متن کاملIonizing Radiation Exposure from Radiologic Imaging
Background The increased use of diagnostic imaging requiring the use of “ionizing radiation,” the rapidly expanding use of computed tomography in the emergency setting, the introduction of multi-detector CT units and newly reported concerns related to the human consequences of low-level radiation exposure have revitalized a long-standing concern over the quantification and management of an indi...
متن کاملEvaluation of Radiation Exposure Pattern and Radiation Absorbed Dose Resulting from Occupational Exposure of Anesthesiologists to Ionizing Radiation
Introduction: Little information is available concerning the radiation exposure of anesthesiologists, and no such data have previously been collected in Iran. This prospective study was performed to determine the amount of radiation exposure of anesthesiologists for the purpose of assessing whether or not dangerous levels of radiation exposures were being reached, and to identify factors that c...
متن کاملRisk of low-level ionizing radiation from medical imaging procedures.
Medical imaging procedures with x-ray, computed tomography (CT) and nuclear isotopes use ionizing radiation.1–4 On the other hand, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) do not. When biological tissues are exposed to radiation, the effects are related to the type of radiation and the amount absorbed. Units of absorbed dose are grays (Gy) (joules/kilogram). One rad (radiation absorbed d...
