A review of uncertainties in radiotherapy dose reconstruction and their impacts on dose-response relationships.
Proper understanding of the risk of radiation-induced late effects for patients receiving external photon beam radiotherapy requires the determination of reliable dose-response relationships. Although significant efforts have been devoted to improving dose estimates for the study of late effects, the most often questioned explanatory variable is still the dose. In this work, based on a literatu...
متن کاملDiscussion: Dose-Response Relationships for Asbestos-Related Disease; Implications for Hygiene Standards DOSE-RESPONSE RELATIONSHIPS FOR ASBESTOS-RELATED DISEASE: IMPLICATIONS FOR HYGIENE STANDARDS PART I. MORBIDITY
It is well established that exposure to asbestos dust results in asbestosis, lung carcinoma, or mesothelioma in a proportion of those exposed and, as far as is known, the complete prevention of disease due to exposure to asbestos dust could only be achieved if the exposure level was reduced to zero. Unfortunately, it is not possible to attain this ideal, and therefore it is necessary to reduce ...
متن کاملMechanistic basis for nonlinear dose-response relationships for low-dose radiation-induced stochastic effects.
The linear nonthreshold (LNT) model plays a central role in low-dose radiation risk assessment for humans. With the LNT model, any radiation exposure is assumed to increase one's risk of cancer. Based on the LNT model, others have predicted tens of thousands of deaths related to environmental exposure to radioactive material from nuclear accidents (e.g., Chernobyl) and fallout from nuclear weap...
متن کاملRadiation dose in cardiac CT.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to familiarize the radiologist with radiation dose in cardiac CT imaging and explain the current methods for dose reduction. CONCLUSION Advances in CT technology have resulted in a significant increase in cardiac CT applications. It is imperative that the radiologist understand the resulting dose implication to the patient and actively engage in optima...
متن کاملRadiation dose benchmarks during cardiac catheterization for congenital heart disease in the United States.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to define age-stratified, procedure-specific benchmark radiation dose levels during interventional catheterization for congenital heart disease. BACKGROUND There is a paucity of published literature with regard to radiation dose levels during catheterization for congenital heart disease. Obtaining benchmark radiation data is essential for assessing the imp...
