background: application of dose-area product (dap) quantity has been increased in the clinical practice. dap is relatively easy to measure. dap has been shown to correlate well with the total energy imparted to the patient, which is related to the effective dose. material and methods: in this study, measurements of dap were carried out in a sample of 421 adult patients who underwent conventiona...

conclusion to diminish the gap between iranian scientific radiology papers and other competitor countries in the region and achievement of document 2025 goals, multifold effort of the society of radiology is necessary. results results of the current study showed a ratio of 0.19% for iranian papers in pubmed database published in 2009. in addition, in 2009, iranian papers constituted 0.29% of th...

Recent developments in image-guidance and device navigation, along with emerging robotic technologies, are rapidly transforming the landscape of interventional radiology (IR). Future state-of-the-art IR procedures may include real-time three-dimensional imaging that is capable of visualizing the target organ, interventional tools, and surrounding anatomy with high spatial and temporal resolutio...

Abstract Manual vascular interventional radiology (VIR) procedures have been performed under radiation exposure conditions, and many commercial master–slave VIR robot systems recently developed to overcome this issue. However, still limitations. The operator must reside near the master device control slave using only device. In addition, simultaneously process recognition of surgical tool from ...

PURPOSE Vascular access device fragment embolization is a relatively rare but potentially serious complication. The purpose of this study was to report our experience with endovascular retrieval of embolized vascular access device fragments by interventional radiological means. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients with a vascular access device fragment embolism were treated between 2004 and 201...

background: radiation dose knowledge through xray examinations and their distribution in iran provides useful guidance on patient dose reduction. the results of the entrance skin dose (esds) of five common radiographies in all radiology centers in yazd province were reported in our previous study (2003). in the present study we have evaluated the collective effective dose of conventional x-ray ...

background knowledge of radiology staff in educational hospital can play a major role in improving quality of radiological images and level of medical diagnostic. thus, the purpose of this study, evaluation skill of radiographers is specially radiology sciences. material and methods this study is descriptive and cross-sectional. a questionnaire according to course topics was prepared including ...

Purpose Scope and clinical importance of interventional radiology markedly evolved over the last decades. Consequently it was acknowledged as independent subspecialty by the „European Union of Medical Specialists“ (UEMS). Based on radiological imaging techniques Interventional Radiology is an integral part of Radiology. Materials undMethods In 2009 the German Society for Interventional Radiolog...
