Nuclear cardiology in Iran in 2002 [Persian]
Aim: Few nuclear cardiology surveys were published in the literature, mostly from developed countries. The aim of this study is to perform a nuclear cardiology survey in Iran. This may lead to better decision making and programming. Methods and Materials: A questionnaire was sent by mail or e-mail to all nuclear medicine centers in Iran asking for details of nuclear cardiology practice in...
متن کاملRadiopharmaceuticals for nuclear cardiology: radiation dosimetry, uncertainties, and risk.
UNLABELLED The technical basis for the dose estimates for several radiopharmaceuticals used in nuclear cardiology is reviewed, and cases in which uncertainty has been encountered in the dosimetry of an agent are discussed. Also discussed is the issue of uncertainties in radiation dose estimates and how to compare the relative risks of studies. METHODS Radiation dose estimates (organ absorbed ...
متن کاملNuclear cardiology practices and radiation exposure in Africa: results from the IAEA Nuclear Cardiology Protocols Study (INCAPS)
OBJECTIVE While nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) offers many benefits to patients with known or suspected cardiovascular disease, concerns exist regarding radiation-associated health effects. Little is known regarding MPI practice in Africa. We sought to characterise radiation doses and the use of MPI best practices that could minimise radiation in African nuclear cardiology laborator...
متن کاملLessons from Major Radiation Accidents
Lessons have been learned from investigations into a relatively large number of accidents that have occurred in three major practices, namely: industrial radiography, gamma irradiators and electron accelerators used in industry and research, and radiotherapy. This paper provides an overview of the lessons learned and specifically considers the human actions and omissions that have resulted in a...
متن کاملAre Radiation Exposure Levels Used in Cardiology Dangerous?
Background: The number of interventional cardiology procedures performed has increased rapidly over the past years. While these procedures help physicians avoid using highly complicated invasive methods, it usually leads to high levels of exposure to ionizing radiation of both patients and cardiologist. The dose received by the cardiologist during interventional cardiology procedures is determi...
