Recommendations for reducing radiation exposure in myocardial perfusion imaging.
Radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or positron emission tomography (PET) for the detection of ischemia in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) has widespread clinical utilization and has been shown to have high accuracy and incremental prognostic value. Amidst the recent publicity regarding the incre...
متن کاملCumulative radiation exposure dose of diagnostic imaging studies in breast cancer patients
Background: Breast cancer is a common disease in radiation oncology. We evaluated the radiation dose received by breast cancer patients, an often-neglected concern. Materials and Methods: The total effective radiation dose in 101 breast cancer patients was calculated by summing the effective doses of individual diagnostic imaging tests from the first hospital visit to the initiation of radiothe...

متن کاملRadiation exposure from diagnostic imaging in severely injured trauma patients.
BACKGROUND Trauma patients often require multiple imaging tests, including computed tomography (CT) scans. CT scanning, however, is associated with high-radiation doses. The purpose of this study was to measure the radiation doses trauma patients receive from diagnostic imaging. METHODS A prospective cohort study was conducted from June 1, 2004 to March 31, 2005 at a Level I trauma center in ...
