19 Cumulative Radiation Effective Dose
The CT scanners on the market offer a multitude of procedure protocols that enable many clinical questions to be answered quickly. CT scanners can be used to image all parts of the body, some common uses in our hospital include; acute inflammatory bowel diseases; acute appendicitis, trauma including head, spine and skeletal trauma, renal diseases including congenital, inflammatory and neoplasti...
متن کاملEffective dose and thyroid cancer risk in panoramic imaging
Background and Aim: On panoramic radiographs, sensitive organs, including the thyroid, are exposed to radiation. Thyroid cancer is one of the most common cancers in Iran. That is why, in this study the effective dose and risk of thyroid cancer were estimated on panoramic radiography. Materials and Methods: Seventy GR200 thermoluminescence (TLD) dosimeters were used to estimate the absorbed dos...
متن کاملScientific Risk Estimation on Health Effects of Low Dose and Low Dose-Rate Radiation - An Overview
Estimation of the scientific risks of high dose radiation has been successfully quantified by many studies using several different approaches. However, the risk for low and low dose-rate radiation is obscure because of a lack of evidence. This risk is currently estimated by extrapolating the radiation response at high doses into low dose ranges for practical purposes. Recent challenges to exami...
متن کاملChanges in salivary gland function following radioiodine therapy of thyroid diseases: A comparison of high-dose therapy for thyroid cancer and low-dose therapy for benign thyroid disease
Introduction: High-dose radioactive iodine therapy in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) may adversely affect the salivary gland function. This study is aimed to evaluate the effect of radioactive iodine (RAI) with dose of 100 mCi in DTC patients compared to lower doses of less than 30 mCi in hyperthyroid cases. Methods: Fifty four patients (13 men and 41 women) age: 42.3±14.3 (21-71) years w...
متن کاملLow-dose radiation-induced protective process and implications for risk assessment, cancer prevention, and cancer therapy.
A low-dose protective apoptosis-mediated (PAM) process is discussed that appears to be turned on by low-dose gamma and X rays but not by low-dose alpha radiation. PAM is a bystander effect that involves cross-talk between genomically compromised [e.g., mutants, neoplastically transformed, micronucleated] cells and nongenomically compromised cells. A novel neoplastic cell transformation model, N...
