Thoracic and lumbar spine trauma.
Complete thoracolumbar trauma evaluation incorporates radiographs, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Primarily to localize the level of injury, diagnosis of thoracolumbar spine trauma begins with radiographs. Computed tomography with sagittal reformatted images is more sensitive for identifying the full extent of injury and the degree of involvement of the bony posterior elem...
متن کاملBeam 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 کاملNavigation on the Thoracic and Lumbar Spine
tem since their introduction in clinical application in 1995 [1, 26]. The navigation at the spine with the help of a CT-based navigation, or the navigation using a 2D data set, from a conventional image converter, have become established methods at centers working with navigation. Numerous publications proof that these systems can be utilized in clinical practice, and in most cases contribute t...
متن کاملEffects of Kilovoltage on Image Quality and Entrance Surface Dose in Lumbar Spine Digital Radiography
Introduction: Digital radiography possesses a wide dynamic range and has a major advantage in producing an acceptable image of diagnostic value even though overexposure occurs. Lumbar spine (LS) radiography is the most common examinations that gives high radiation dose to patients and accounts for the highest collective population dose of any conventional radiographic ...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Entrance Surface Dose and Dose to Different Organs in Lumbar Spine Imaging
Background: Dose assessment using proper dosimeters is especially important in radiation protection optimization and imaging justification in diagnostic radiology.Objective: The aim of this study is to obtain the Entrance Skin Dose (ESD) of patients undergoing lumbar spine imaging using two thermoluminescence dosimeters TLD-100 (LiF: Mg, Ti) and GR-200 (LiF: Mg, Cu, P) and also to obtain the ab...
