Radiation intensity (CTDIvol) and visibility of anatomical structures in head CT examinations
The purpose of this study was to quantify how changing the amount of radiation used to perform routine head CT examinations (CTDIvol) affects visibility of key anatomical structures. Eight routine noncontrast head CT exams were selected from six CT scanners, each of which had a different CTDIvol setting (60 to 75 mGy). All exams were normal and two slices were selected for evaluation, one at th...
متن کاملRadiation Exposure from CT Examinations in Japan
BACKGROUND Computed tomography (CT) is the largest source of medical radiation exposure to the general population, and is considered a potential source of increased cancer risk. The aim of this study was to assess the current situation of CT use in Japan, and to investigate variations in radiation exposure in CT studies among institutions and scanners. METHODS Data-sheets were sent to all 126...
متن کاملUse of lead shields for radiation protection of superficial organs in patients undergoing head CT examinations.
Head computed tomography examinations are often accompanied with unnecessary irradiation of superficial organs that are rarely the main target for the investigation. The aim of this work is to demonstrate that lead shields could be effectively used to protect superficial organs without compromising image quality where superficial organ itself is not a target and that the irradiation of the supe...
متن کاملa contrastive analysis of concord and head parameter in english and azerbaijani
این پایان نامه به بررسی و مقایسه دو موضوع مطابقه میان فعل و فاعل (از نظر شخص و مشار) و هسته عبارت در دو زبان انگلیسی و آذربایجانی می پردازد. اول رابطه دستوری مطابقه مورد بررسی قرار می گیرد. مطابقه به این معناست که فعل مفرد به همراه فاعل مفرد و فعل جمع به همراه فاعل جمع می آید. در انگلیسی تمام افعال، بجز فعل بودن (to be) از نظر شمار با فاعلشان فقط در سوم شخص مفرد و در زمان حال مطابقت نشان میدهند...
15 صفحه اولUltra-Low Radiation Dose Renal CT Examinations
These efforts include the development of customized protocols that take into account the patient’s age, body mass and clinical indication. This allows for lower dose scan parameters and targeted scanning to cover only the region of interest and thereby limit oversampling. In addition, new iterative image reconstruction techniques can improve image quality on low dose, higher noise CT scans. As ...
