Radiation Dose Reduction Techniques in the Workplace
The principal objective of radiation protection is to ensure that the dose received by any individual does not exceed the applicable M.P.D. values.We will discuss in this paper the presents recommendations and technical information related to the design and installation of structural shielding with taking into account the concept of Maximum Permissible Dose equivalent (MPDl as expressed and ...
متن کاملRadiation dose from cardiac computed tomography before and after implementation of radiation dose-reduction techniques.
CONTEXT Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) can accurately diagnose coronary artery disease, but radiation dose from this procedure is of concern. OBJECTIVES To determine whether a collaborative radiation dose-reduction program would be associated with reduced radiation dose in patients undergoing CCTA in a statewide registry over a 1-year period and to define its effect on image q...
متن کاملPerformance of Sife - Eldeen dosimeter over broad absorbed dose and dose rate ranges of γ – radiation and at different temperatures
Background: Results are presented on some dosimetric characteristics of Sife – Eldeen dosimeter based on the radiation induced conductivity (RIC) of 3.5 M aqueous urea solutions. The studied characteristics were the response (RIC) of Sife – Eldeen dosimeter in broad ranges of absorbed dose, dose rates and at different irradiation temperature. Materials and Methods: Kent EIL5007 conductivity met...
متن کاملRadiation dose in cardiac CT.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to familiarize the radiologist with radiation dose in cardiac CT imaging and explain the current methods for dose reduction. CONCLUSION Advances in CT technology have resulted in a significant increase in cardiac CT applications. It is imperative that the radiologist understand the resulting dose implication to the patient and actively engage in optima...
متن کاملThe relationship between cardiac radiation dose and mediastinal lymph node involvement in stage III non-small cell lung cancer patients
PURPOSE The results from Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 0617, a dose escalation trial that compared treatment with 60 Gy versus 74 Gy for patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), suggested that in these patients, the heart dose from radiation therapy correlates with survival. In particular, the study noted that patients with a high heart V5 and V30 had a poorer overa...
