Practical ways to reduce radiation dose for patients and staff during device implantations and electrophysiological procedures.
Despite the advent of non-fluoroscopic technology, fluoroscopy remains the cornerstone of imaging in most interventional electrophysiological procedures, from diagnostic studies over ablation interventions to device implantation. Moreover, many patients receive additional X-ray imaging, such as cardiac computed tomography and others. More and more complex procedures have the risk to increase th...
متن کاملComprehensive TLD dosimetry of physicians and patients during interventional angiography procedures to estimate the risk of radiation deterministic effect
Introduction: Interventional angiography procedures are increasingly used today. These techniques require a long time of standing near the patient and x-ray tube which lead to increase the radiation-dose of the staff and interventionists. This may also, in turn, lead to the occurrence of radiation deterministic effects. Since a large number of interventional radiology were perf...
متن کاملOptimization of Radiological Protection in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Common Conventional Radiological Procedures: Effectiveness of Increasing the Film to Focus Distance (FFD)
Background Increasing the x-ray film to focus distance (FFD), has been recommended as a practical dose optimization tool for patients undergoing conventional radiological procedures. In the previous study, we demonstrated a 32% reduction in absorbed dose is achievable due to increasing the FFD from 100 to 130 cm during pediatric chest radiography. The aim of this study was to examine whether in...
متن کاملEvaluation of Patients’ Exposure during Angiography and Angioplasty Procedures in the Angiography Department of Shahid Madani Hospital in Tabriz
Introduction: Coronary angiography and angioplasty procedures lead to significant radiation exposure of patients. In the current study, the average radiation dose to patients during angiography in the Angiography Department of Shahid-Madani Hospital was determined. Materials and Methods: An image intensifier based angiography unit (Philips BH 3000) was used for angiography procedures. The accur...
متن کاملStaff and patient absorbed doses due to diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures
Background: Annual patient effective dose equivalent can be considered as a quantitative physical parameter describing the activities performed in each nuclear medicine department. Annual staff dose equivalent could be also considered as a parameter describing the amount of radiation risk for performing the activities. We calculated the staff to patient dose equivalent ratio to be used as a phy...
