Background:In diagnostic radiology lead apron, are usually used to protect patients and radiology staff against ionizing radiation. Lead apron is a desirable shield due to high absorption and effective attenuation of x-ray photons in the diagnostic radiology range.Objective: Although lead aprons have good radiation protection properties, in recent years, researchers have been looking for altern...

conclusion attending radiologists could diagnose acute appendicitis accurately on ne-ldct. performance of senior residents on ne-ldct is better than junior residents and comparable to attending radiologists. results diagnostic performances for acute appendicitis were not statistically different for attending radiologists at both examinations. better performance was noted on the ce-sdct with a b...

The American Board of Nuclear Medicine (ABNM) was recognized as an independent medical specialty board in 1971 and was the first conjoint board of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). The conjoint board was sponsored by the American Board of Internal Medicine (therapies), the American Board of Pathology (radioimmunoassay), the American Board of Radiology (ABR) (diagnostic imaging),...

The ACR Task Force on Medical Student Education in Radiology, in partnership with the Alliance of Medical Student Educators in Radiology, investigated the current status of how and to what extent medical imaging was being taught in medical schools. The task force executed a 3-part survey of medical school deans, radiology department chairs, and intern physicians. The results provided an updated...

An exploratory study was undertaken to determine the role and practice issues of radiology coding in health information management (HIM) practice. The study sought to identify the challenges of radiology coding and the solutions implemented to address these challenges. A self-report survey was sent to 828 American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) members identified as directors...

which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Within the past 20 years, the radiographic examination in the medical field has increased by a factor of about 3 to 5 times, while the total radiation dose has increased by a factor of about 200-400. This has ascribed to the rapid increase in CT usage (1). T...
