Many cases in which the skin complication are caused by increased exposure dose to skin by interventional radiology (IVR) are reported. Therefore, the decrease of patient exposure dose at IVR is important. Patient exposure dose by using IVR-computed tomography (CT) unit is defined as the sum of exposure dose from both angiography and CT scanner. The dose decrease with the CT device was examined...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present and validate an originally developed application SkinCare used for skin dose mapping in interventional procedures, which are associated with relatively high radiation doses the patient’s possible reactions. Methods tool generating maps following radiology cardiology procedures using realistic 3D patient models. Skin calculated data from Digital Im...

Background Physicians use fixed C-arm fluoroscopy equipment with many interventional radiological and cardiological procedures. The associated effective dose to a patient is generally considered low risk, as the benefit-risk ratio almost certainly highly favorable. However, X-ray-induced skin injuries may occur due high absorbed doses from complex fluoroscopically guided interventions (FGI). Su...

The dosimetric impact from devices external to the patient is a complex combination of increased skin dose, reduced tumor dose, and altered dose distribution. Although small monitor unit or dose corrections are routinely made for blocking trays, ion chamber correction factors, e.g., accounting for temperature and pressure, or tissue inhomogeneities, the dose perturbation of the treatment couch ...

Introduction According to the International Commission on Radiological Protection publication numbers 60 and 21, the environmental control standards should ensure human and other species protection to a desirable degree. Since application of radiographic procedures in Veterinary Medicine has increased significantly, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the entrance skin dose to the animals (e.g....

AIM To investigated the dose enhancement due to the incorporation of nanoparticles in skin therapy using the kilovoltage (kV) photon and megavoltage (MV) electron beams. Monte Carlo simulations were used to predict the dose enhancement when different types and concentrations of nanoparticles were added to skin target layers of varying thickness. METHODS Clinical kV photon beams (105 and 220 k...

Background: The skin is the first line of defense against microbial and chemical agents. Keratinocytes, represent major component skin. Storax thought to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory antimicrobial effects. some substances in storax a cytotoxic effect that can be source oxidative stress. Boron compounds wide physiological on biological systems at low concentrations, are toxic high concent...
