Organ dose in kidney imaging with contrast media
Introduction:Intravenous urography (IVU) test includes high number of images and extended imaging size. These make IVU as a diagnostic method with high absorbed doses by sensitive organs such as intestine and gonads in pelvic-abdominal area. In this study absorbed doses of pelvic-abdomen sensitive organs such as Adrenal, Bladder, Colon and Gonads in IVU test. <stron...
متن کاملDevelopment of CT Scanner Models for Patient Organ Dose Calculations Using Monte Carlo Methods
There is a serious and growing concern about the CT dose delivered by diagnostic CT examinations or image-guided radiation therapy imaging procedures. To better understand and to accurately quantify radiation dose due to CT imaging, Monte Carlo based CT scanner models are needed. This dissertation describes the development, validation, and application of detailed CT scanner models including a G...
متن کاملApplicator Attenuation Effect on Dose Calculations of Esophageal High-Dose Rate Brachytherapy Using EDR2 Film
Introduction Interaluminal brachytherapy is one of the important methods of esophageal cancer treatment. The effect of applicator attenuation is not considered in dose calculation method released by AAPM-TG43. In this study, the effect of High-Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy esophageal applicator on dose distribution was surveyed in HDR brachytherapy. Materials and Methods A cylindrical PMMA phan...
متن کاملSU-E-J-202: Treatment Dose Assessment with the Consideration of Radiation Dose Inducible Organ Shrinkage/Deformation.
PURPOSE For asymmetric organ shrinkage caused by heterogeneity dose distribution, tissue elasticity based deformable organ registration cannot be directly applied to the treatment image to construct the treatment dose. A novel approach is proposed to include radiation dose inducible organ shrinkage/deformation in the consideration of treatment dose assessment. METHODS A model and algorithm we...
متن کاملThe significance of determining the therapeutic dose of cyclosporine-A in patients undergoing organ transplantation
Immunosuppressive drugs are now unavoidibly used after the transpantation of liver,heart and bone marrow, as well as in certain autoimmune diseases.among these agents,cyclosporine-A (CYA) is one of the most effective Immunosuppressants which is widely used.but as any Immunosuppressive agent,the use of CYA is not without harmful side effects.neurotoxin,nephrotoxic and hepatotoxic complications,m...
