Analysis of radiation doses incurred during diagnostic cerebral angiography after the implementation of dose reduction strategies.
BACKGROUND One goal of increasing awareness of radiation dose is to encourage personal and technical modifications in order to reduce the radiation exposure of patients and staff. OBJECTIVE To analyze the radiation doses incurred during diagnostic cerebral angiography and the angiographic techniques practiced over a 4-year period, in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of implementing radi...
متن کاملDose Reduction Methods in Chest Computed Tomography
Introduction: Computed tomography is one of the most powerful tools for investigating thorax disease, because it shows progression of lung disease much clearer than chest radiography. Technical advances in CT scanners have led to some abilities for CT scanners such as coverage of larger volume, lower noise and ability for acquiring image in one respiratory phase. However, this will be accompani...
متن کاملRadiation Dose Reduction Techniques in the Workplace
The principal objective of radiation protection is to ensure that the dose received by any individual does not exceed the applicable M.P.D. values.We will discuss in this paper the presents recommendations and technical information related to the design and installation of structural shielding with taking into account the concept of Maximum Permissible Dose equivalent (MPDl as expressed and ...
متن کاملRadiation dose from cardiac computed tomography before and after implementation of radiation dose-reduction techniques.
CONTEXT Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) can accurately diagnose coronary artery disease, but radiation dose from this procedure is of concern. OBJECTIVES To determine whether a collaborative radiation dose-reduction program would be associated with reduced radiation dose in patients undergoing CCTA in a statewide registry over a 1-year period and to define its effect on image q...
متن کاملEffective dose analysis of three-dimensional rotational angiography during catheter ablation procedures.
There is increasing use of three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) during cardiac ablation procedures. As compared with 2D angiography, a large series of images are acquired, creating the potential for high radiation doses. The aim of the present study was to quantify patient-specific effective doses. In this study, we developed a computer model to accurately calculate organ doses and t...
