Radiographic Presentations of Intussusception in Plain Abdominal X-Ray
Intussusception is the most common cause of intestinal obstraction in children aged 3 months to 6 years. Complete understanding of its clinical and radiographic manifestations can play a major role in the early diagnosis and treatment and prevents its complications. In this study plain abdominal X-rays of 51 patients with intussusception were evaluated. Suggestive radiographic signs of the dise...
متن کاملPatient Radiation Dose Assessment in Pelvic X-ray Examination in Ghana
Protecting the gonads of children and adults is of particular importance during diagnostic imaging of the pelvis since evidence suggests that X-rays could cause direct damage to the gonad which could result in mutation [1]. Gonad shielding during diagnostic X-ray procedures is an effective way of reducing dose to patients’ reproductive organs and reduces the risk of genetic effects in future ge...
متن کاملOrgan Dose Determination in X-ray Imaging
Organ dose is the absorbed radiation energy from ionizing radiation to an organ, divided by the organ mass. Organ doses of a patient cannot be measured directly in the patient, but their determination requires dose measurements in anthropomorphic patient models i.e. phantoms or Monte Carlo simulations. Monte Carlo simulations can be performed for example by using computational phantoms or patie...
متن کاملPatient dose in routine X-ray examinations in Yazd state
Background: Medical x-rays are the largest man-made source of public exposure to ionizing radiation. It is important to avoid conditions where the amount of radiation used is more than that needed for the procedure. Materials and Methods: The Entrance Skin Exposure (ESE) measurement was conducted for quality control of x-ray machines and survey of operator’s experimental techniques. The ESEs we...
