Low Radiation Dose Calcium Scoring: Evidence and Techniques
Coronary computed tomography (CT) allows for the acquisition of thin slices of the heart and coronary arteries, which can be used to detect and quantify coronary artery calcium (CAC), a marker of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Despite the proven clinical value in cardiac risk prognostication, there remain concerns regarding radiation exposure from CAC CT scans. There have been several ...
متن کاملAutomated aortic calcium scoring on low-dose chest computed tomography.
PURPOSE Thoracic computed tomography (CT) scans provide information about cardiovascular risk status. These scans are non-ECG synchronized, thus precise quantification of coronary calcifications is difficult. Aortic calcium scoring is less sensitive to cardiac motion, so it is an alternative to coronary calcium scoring as an indicator of cardiovascular risk. The authors developed and evaluated ...
متن کاملRadiation Dose Reduction Techniques in the Workplace
The principal objective of radiation protection is to ensure that the dose received by any individual does not exceed the applicable M.P.D. values.We will discuss in this paper the presents recommendations and technical information related to the design and installation of structural shielding with taking into account the concept of Maximum Permissible Dose equivalent (MPDl as expressed and ...
متن کاملUsefulness of additional coronary calcium scoring in low-dose CT coronary angiography with prospective ECG-triggering impact on total effective radiation dose and diagnostic accuracy.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To determine the impact of additional coronary calcium scoring on total effective radiation dose and diagnostic accuracy of low-dose computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) with prospective electrocardiogram (ECG) triggering. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-one consecutive patients underwent 64-slice CTCA using prospective ECG triggering, calcium scoring, and inva...
متن کاملBCC and Childhood Low Dose Radiation
Skin cancer is a late complication of ionizing radiation. Two skin neoplasms prominent Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) and Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) are the most famous complications of radiotherapy. Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is the most common human malignant neoplasm. Many genetic and environmental factors are involved in its onset. BCC is observed in sunexposed areas of skin. Some patients w...
