Evaluation of Factors Affecting Absorbed Dose, Optimization Methods and Patient Dose Reduction in Dental Cone Beam CT (CBCT)
Introduction: Nowadays the use of cone beam computed tomography in dental imaging is increasing, although this method has a much lower dose than conventional CT scans, it delivers a higher dose than the panoramic and periapical patients therefore, , the aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the patients' dose in dental CBCTs and methods of optimizing and reducing the patien...
متن کاملEvaluation of Occupational Radiation Dose in One Year for Operators Working in CT Scan Centers
Introduction: Becuase of the most radiation dose receiving by human is related to medical radiation exposures, and also Computed Tomography (CT) is a special type of radiography that is one of the main method of radiation exposure today, and it's growing increasingly. Therefore, radio technologists working in CT scan imaging centers, are at risk of radiation. Due to the high am...
متن کاملPointers for optimizing radiation dose in pediatric CT protocols.
According to recent estimates, close to 7 million to 8 million CT examinations were performed for various pediatric clinical indications per year in the United States [1]. Children are normally more susceptible to radiationrelated risksbecauseof greaterorgan radiosensitivity and a longer life span to potentially develop radiation-induced carcinogenesis [2]. Although there are uncertainties rega...
متن کاملAssessment of Patient Dose from CT Examinations in Khorasan, Iran
Introduction Computed Tomography scans are a very important tool for diagnosis and assessment of response to treatment in the practice of medicine. Ionizing radiation in medical imaging is undoubtedly one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in medicine. Yet, as with all medical interventions, there are potential risks in addition to the clear potential benefits. Materials and Methods Two refe...
متن کاملSize specific dose estimate (SSDE) for estimating patient dose from CT used in myocardial perfusion SPECT/CT
Objective(s): Size specific dose estimate (SSDE) is a new parameter that includes patient size factor in its calculation. Recent studies have produced mixed results on the utility of SSDE, especially when automatic exposure control (AEC) was used. The objective of the study was to find out if there is a relationship between patient size and each of the parameters, SSDE...
