Radiation Protection in Diagnostic Radiology
This paper summarizes technological advances in diagnostic radiography, fluoroscopy and computed tomography, mainly the developments in digital detectors and helical CT scanners with multiple-row detectors. It reviews dosimetric concepts and presents the most up-to-date information on the global patterns of use of radiological modalities as well as the trends in diagnostic medical exposure dose...
متن کاملPragmatic ethical basis for radiation protection in diagnostic radiology
OBJECTIVE Medical ethics has a tried and tested literature and a global active research community. Even among health professionals, literate and fluent in medical ethics, there is low recognition of radiation protection principles such as justification and optimization. On the other hand, many in healthcare environments misunderstand dose limitation obligations and incorrectly believe patients ...
متن کاملRadiation Protection in Interventional Radiology
Interventional procedures are used by a significant number of medical specialities. Radiation protection (RP) for patients and staff is one of the main issues in Interventional Radiology (IR). UNSCEAR, ICRP and IAEA have devoted significant time over the last years to improve radiation safety in IR. Several combined factors: prolonged localized fluoroscopy, multiple radiographic exposures, and ...
متن کاملRadiology workload analysis – role and relevance in radiation protection in diagnostic radiology
It has been demonstrated that data entered by radiographers into Radiology Information Systems (RIS) can be used as dose audit data, removing the necessity for radiographer to separately collect data for patient dose audit purposes. Access to RIS data also provides the potential for much more analysis. The data entry process itself can be audited, and is now routinely performed at a small numbe...
متن کاملApplication of personal non-lead nano-composite shields for radiation protection in diagnostic radiology: a systematic review and meta-analysis
composites with micro- and nano-metal fillers has attracted the attention of researchers for radiation shielding applications. Lead toxicity and heaviness have oriented extensive research toward the use of non-lead composite shields. The present study aimed to systematically review the efficiency of the composite shields of various micro- and nano-sized materials as composite shields have been ...
