Evaluation 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 کاملClinical Value of Low Dose CT- Scan in Pediatric Chest Diseases: Adequacy Assessment
Background Radiation dose about 400 times that of standard thoracic computed tomography (CT) in comparison with chest X- ray resulting in different approaches to decrease radiation dose have been established in the last few years to prevent possible side effects especially in children, such as low dose protocols. The aim of this study was assessment of clinical v...
متن کاملFractional scan algorithms for low-dose perfusion CT.
One of the key considerations in CT perfusion is the X-ray dose received by the patient, since cine acquisition mode is typically used in which repeated x-ray exposure occurs at the same anatomical location. In this technical note, we propose a new approach for dose reduction in which the X-ray tube current is maintained and the number of projection views is reduced per gantry rotation. A proje...
متن کاملEstimation of fetal absorbed dose from low-dose attenuation-correction CT in PET / CT imaging by using the Body Builder Phantom
One of the methods of studying the physiology and metabolism of important tissues such as the heart, brain and cancer tumors is the use of PET/CT System. A small number of patients are pregnant women who undergo a PET/CT scan due to lack of knowledge about pregnancy or due to dire clinical need. The final dose received by the fetus is based on three factors: the absorbed dose of the fetal tissu...
متن کاملSpectrotemporal CT data acquisition and reconstruction at low dose.
PURPOSE X-ray computed tomography (CT) is widely used, both clinically and preclinically, for fast, high-resolution anatomic imaging; however, compelling opportunities exist to expand its use in functional imaging applications. For instance, spectral information combined with nanoparticle contrast agents enables quantification of tissue perfusion levels, while temporal information details cardi...
