Patient effective dose evaluation for chest X-ray examination in three digital radiography centers
Background: The radiation doses resulting from diagnostic X-ray examinations are routinely measured in terms of entrance surface dose (ESD) and effective dose (ED). In this study, for the purpose of radiation protection, the radiation doses received from Digital chest X-ray examination were evaluated in terms of ESD and ED. Material and Methods: The ED was calculated by using the MCNP ...
متن کاملSurvey of the Use of X-ray Beam Collimator and Shielding Tools during Infant Chest Radiography
Background The use of shielding tools and X-ray beam collimator has extensively been advocated as effective methods to reduce radiation exposure to patients underwent radiological procedures. The aim of this study was to address the use of these protection measures during infant chest radiography. Material and Methods 348digital and/or analogue infant chest radiographs were reviewed that perfor...
متن کاملX-ray Dark Field Imaging
A new kind of enhanced contrast X-ray imaging of weakly absorbing materials in dark field mode is presented. Samples such as plastics and biological tissue are a perpetual challenge for radiographic imaging. Recent innovative approaches such as Diffraction Enhanced Imaging (DEI), “phase contrast”, grating interferometry (Talbot-Lau), or Refraction Enhanced Imaging (REI) have in common that they...
متن کاملImproved In vivo Assessment of Pulmonary Fibrosis in Mice using X-Ray Dark-Field Radiography.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive lung disease with a median life expectancy of 4-5 years after initial diagnosis. Early diagnosis and accurate monitoring of IPF are limited by a lack of sensitive imaging techniques that are able to visualize early fibrotic changes at the epithelial-mesenchymal interface. Here, we report a new x-ray imaging approach that directly ...
متن کاملDepiction of pneumothoraces in a large animal model using x-ray dark-field radiography
The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of x-ray dark-field radiography to detect pneumothoraces in a pig model. Eight pigs were imaged with an experimental grating-based large-animal dark-field scanner before and after induction of a unilateral pneumothorax. Image contrast-to-noise ratios between lung tissue and the air-filled pleural cavity were quantified for transmission an...
