Direct measurement of a patient's entrance skin dose during pediatric cardiac catheterization
Children with complex congenital heart diseases often require repeated cardiac catheterization; however, children are more radiosensitive than adults. Therefore, radiation-induced carcinogenesis is an important consideration for children who undergo those procedures. We measured entrance skin doses (ESDs) using radio-photoluminescence dosimeter (RPLD) chips during cardiac catheterization for 15...
متن کاملComparison of skin dose measurement using nanoDot® dosimeter and machine readings of radiation dose during cardiac catheterization in children
Objectives Direct measurement of skin dose of radiation for children using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) technology using nanoDot® (Landauer, Glenwood, IL, USA). Background Radiation dose is estimated as cumulative air kerma (AK) and dosearea product based on standards established for adult size patients. Body size of pediatric patients who undergo cardiac catheterization for congen...
متن کاملAssessment of Maximum Entrance Skin Dose of Patients Undergoing Cardiac Interventional Procedures and Its Correlation with Other Dosimetric Parameters
Introduction: In recent years, the number of complex coronary angiography (CA) is increasing rapidly. These procedures have a significant contribution to medical exposure to the general population. Exposure of patients to high doses of x-rays could cause deterministic effects on the skin. Therefore, the assessment of radiation doses of patients is of great importance. ...
متن کاملMeasurement of Entrance Skin Dose and Effective Dose in The most Common Diagnostic radiology Examinations in Jiroft, Iran
Introduction: Medical uses of radiation have grown very rapidly over in the past two decades, medical uses represent the largest source of exposure to people, The most important methods in medical diagnosis are the useses of diagnostic radiology exams. Although the use of these methods is very beneficial for the treatment of patients, but ionizing radiation produces ion pairs, ...
متن کاملA skin lesion after cardiac catheterization.
A 64-year-old man with diabetes and hypertension presented with a 2-day history of sudden onset of acute pain and cyanosis on the sole of his right foot 4 days after undergoing cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography. The physical examination revealed macular, violaceous, connecting rings in a net-like pattern that blanched with pressure and disappeared when the foot was elevated, a pr...
