Ionizing 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 کاملGrowing rod analysis for the fusionless correction of Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS)
Introduction Managing spinal deformities in young children is challenging, particularly early onset scoliosis (EOS). Surgical intervention is often required if EOS has been unresponsive to conservative treatment particularly with rapidly progressive curves. An emerging treatment option for EOS is fusionless scoliosis surgery. Similar to bracing, this surgical option potentially harnesses growth...
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 ...
