Real practice radiation dose and dosimetric impact of radiological staff training in body CT examinations
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the radiation dose of the main body CT examinations performed routinely in four regional diagnostic centres, the specific contribution of radiologists and technologists in determining CT dose levels, and the role of radiological staff training in reducing radiation doses. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the radiation dose in terms of dose-length product (DLP) value...
متن کاملReal-time skin dose Radiation Monitoring during Coronary Angiography
The collective dose of radiation used in medical investigations and procedures has increased by greater than 700% between 1980 and 2006 [1]. Consequently the use of ionizing radiation has developed into an important, yet potentially avoidable, public health threat [2] that deserves considerable attention. This is particularly the case in adult cardiology patients where coronary angiography repr...
متن کاملReal-time colour pictorial radiation monitoring during coronary angiography: effect on patient peak skin and total dose during coronary angiography.
AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate whether a real-time (RT) colour pictorial radiation dose monitoring system reduces patient skin and total radiation dose during coronary angiography and intervention. METHODS AND RESULTS Patient demographics, procedural variables and radiation parameters were recorded before and after institution of the RT skin dose recording system. Peak skin dose a...
متن کاملRadiation-Induced Noncancer Risks in Interventional Cardiology: Optimisation of Procedures and Staff and Patient Dose Reduction
Concerns about ionizing radiation during interventional cardiology have been increased in recent years as a result of rapid growth in interventional procedure volumes and the high radiation doses associated with some procedures. Noncancer radiation risks to cardiologists and medical staff in terms of radiation-induced cataracts and skin injuries for patients appear clear potential consequences ...
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...
