Are routine postoperative X-Rays justified in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis?
Results Records from 43 patients (mean age 16.5 years, 93% women) were evaluated. A total of 414 (212 posteroanterior, 202 lateral) full-spine X-rays (9.6/patient) were performed during the first 2 postoperative years: 392 were available for analysis, and 391 had an associated clinical note. Excluding the 89 immediate postoperative films, only 48 of 325 (14.8%) were clinically justified: pain i...
متن کاملWhat are the risks from medical X-rays and other low dose radiation?
The magnitude of the risks from low doses of radiation is one of the central questions in radiological protection. It is particularly relevant when discussing the justification and optimization of diagnostic medical exposures. Medical X-rays can undoubtedly confer substantial benefits in the healthcare of patients, but not without exposing them to effective doses ranging from a few microsievert...

متن کاملX-rays from Radio Millisecond Pulsars: Comptonized Thermal Radiation
X-ray emission from many rotation-powered millisecond pulsars (MSPs) is observed to be of predominantly thermal nature. In PSR J0437–4715, the nearest MSP known, an additional faint power-law tail is observed above 2.5 keV, commonly attributed to non-thermal magnetospheric radiation. We propose that the hard emission in this and other similar MSPs is instead due to weak Comptonization of the th...
متن کاملLymphopenia following Exposures of Rats to "soft" X-rays and the Β-rays of Radium
Murphy and his collaborators have referred to a difference between the effects of large and small doses of x-rays on the circulating lym-phocytes of the rat, large doses producing a diminution, and small doses an increase in their numbers (1, 2). The dose required for the latter they refer to as a "stimulating" dose. Our own observations (3) upon the effects of moderately penetrating x-rays, ra...
