Dose Reduction Methods in Chest Computed Tomography
Introduction: Computed tomography is one of the most powerful tools for investigating thorax disease, because it shows progression of lung disease much clearer than chest radiography. Technical advances in CT scanners have led to some abilities for CT scanners such as coverage of larger volume, lower noise and ability for acquiring image in one respiratory phase. However, this will be accompani...
متن کاملRadiation dose from cardiac computed tomography before and after implementation of radiation dose-reduction techniques.
CONTEXT Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) can accurately diagnose coronary artery disease, but radiation dose from this procedure is of concern. OBJECTIVES To determine whether a collaborative radiation dose-reduction program would be associated with reduced radiation dose in patients undergoing CCTA in a statewide registry over a 1-year period and to define its effect on image q...
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 کاملPatient-Specific Radiation Dose and Cancer Risk in Computed Tomography Examinations in Ondo, Nigeria
Introduction: The dose in computed tomography (CT) often approach or exceed the optimum levels, thereby increasing the probability of cancer induction. With wide application of this diagnostic test, it is expedient to determine the effective dose (ED) for each patient to estimate their cancer risk. This study was conducted to investigate the patient-specific dose (PSD) and cancer risk in CT exa...
متن کاملDose Reduction on Computed Tomography Angiography Using Adaptive Control Techniques
With the advent of multi-slice computed tomography (CT) scanner and the sophisticated CT reconstruction algorithm, CT Angiography (CTA) is increasingly used to evaluate patient with vascular diseases (Fleischmann et al., 2006; Chow & Rubin, 2002; Rubin at al., 2001). It has many advantages over the conventional catheter angiograms: 1) non-invasiveness, 2) short acquisition time, 3) multiple vie...
