Monte Carlo Method for Radiological X-ray Examinations
The organ doses and the effective dose of patients exposed at an X-ray beam, having photon energies between 10–150 keV, are analyzed by using a new method named IradMed. Three major radiological procedures, mammography, radiography and Computer Tomography are considered. The Rayleigh scattering, the Compton scattering and the photoelectric effect were taken into account for patient dose calcula...
متن کاملRadiological exposure evaluation through the computerised electronic records system as decisional support to X-ray examination justification in family medicine.
BACKGROUND In recent decades, patients' exposure to ionising radiation (IR) during diagnostic examinations has increased a great deal. X-ray requests do not always conform to the principle of 'justification', which emphasises the real utility and necessity of the examination. Databases maintained by general practitioners usually record all requests for radiological examinations of their patient...
متن کاملRadiological Justification for and Optimization of Nuclear Medicine Practices in Korea
Nuclear medicine is a rapidly growing discipline that employs advanced novel hybrid techniques that provide unique anatomical and functional information, as well as targets for molecular therapy. Concomitantly, there has been an increase in the attention paid to medical radiation exposure. A radiological justification for the practice of nuclear medicine has been implemented mainly through refe...
متن کاملEntrance surface dose measurements for routine X-ray examinations in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari hospitals
Background: There is not any report on the radiation doses received by patients in diagnostic radiology sections in hospitals under control of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Medical Sciences University, in the south west of Iran. Objectives: The aim of this study is measurement of entrance surface doses (ESD) for the most routine types of X-ray procedures in radiology centers as part of ongoing d...
متن کاملDoses Received by Patients during Thorax X-Ray Examinations
Introduction Radiation exposures from diagnostic medical examinations are generally low and are almost always justified by the benefits of accurate diagnosis of possible disease conditions. Therefore, entrance skin dose (ESD), body organ dose (BOD), and effective dose (ED) from adult patients undergoing routine thorax posterior-anterior (PA) and thorax right lateral (RLAT) were estimated in Uni...
