The effectiveness of side marker lamps: an experimental study.
The present experiment investigated the effect of small amber lamps mounted near the front and rear on each side of a passenger car-so called side marker lamps-on visual detection and recognition of passenger cars in complex nighttime environments. It was determined whether cars equipped with side marker lamps are detected and recognized earlier and more accurately than cars without side marker...
متن کاملThe Radiation Exposure of Radiographer Related to the Location in C-arm Fluoroscopy-guided Pain Interventions
BACKGROUND Although a physician may be the nearest to the radiation source during C-arm fluoroscope-guided interventions, the radiographer is also near the fluoroscope. We prospectively investigated the radiation exposure of radiographers relative to their location. METHODS The effective dose (ED) was measured with a digital dosimeter on the radiographers' left chest and the side of the table...
متن کاملA clinical audit of anatomical side marker use in a paediatric medical imaging department
INTRODUCTION The gold standard in general radiography is to place a radiopaque anatomical side marker in the field of view for each radiographic image prior to exposure. The advent of digital radiography has allowed for anatomical side markers to be digitally added to films as part of post-processing. The aim of this audit was to identify whether general X-ray images performed in a tertiary Wom...
متن کاملMuscle Activity Adaptations to Spinal Tissue Creep in the Presence of Muscle Fatigue.
AIM The aim of this study was to identify adaptations in muscle activity distribution to spinal tissue creep in presence of muscle fatigue. METHODS Twenty-three healthy participants performed a fatigue task before and after 30 minutes of passive spinal tissue deformation in flexion. Right and left erector spinae activity was recorded using large-arrays surface electromyography (EMG). To chara...
متن کاملComparison of three methods for skin markings in conformal radiotherapy, temporary markers, and permanent Steritatt CIVCO® tattooing: Patients’ comfort and radiographers’ satisfaction
Skin marking is routinely performed at the time of simulation before radiotherapy treatment. Worldwide different methods are used to mark the isocenter; most commonly used are temporary marker pens, commercially available tattooing needles pre-filled with non toxic India ink (Steritatt CIVCO®) and henna. The aim of this study was to compare these three different methods in the terms of durabili...
