The effect of breast shielding during lumbar spine radiography
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to determine the influence of lead shielding on the dose to female breasts in conventional x-ray lumbar spine imaging. The correlation between the body mass index and the dose received by the breast was also investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Breast surface dose was measured by thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD). In the first phase measurements of breast d...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
Beam Collimation during Lumbar Spine Radiography: A Retrospective Study
Introduction: Collimating the primary beam to the area of diagnostic interest (ADI) has been strongly recommended as an effective method to reduce patient’s radiation dose and to improve image quality during radiology practice. Lack or inadequate collimation results in excessive radiation dose to patients and deterioration image quality.Objective: To assess the quality of beam collimation dur...
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 کاملNew traction device for radiography of the lower cervical spine.
Severe injuries to the lower cervical spine may be overlooked when the shoulders obscure this area in the lateral view. This is a familiar clinical problem and generally it is handled by pulling downward on the arms to lower the shoulders [1 -5]. One of us (D . S.) conceived a simple device with which the patient himself exerts the traction by extending his legs . This innovation has certain ad...
