or IV disease, which was a more advanced-stage disease than that found in the other 1,000 patients (p 0.0111). Three patients underwent surgical resection, and 10 patients received chemotherapy. Five patients received radiation, and three patients received palliative care. Our study indicated that lung cancer among medical professionals had a propensity for advanced tumor stage at presentation ...

Few exposures generate more anxiety to the public than exposure to any type of radiation. Images and stories of affected individuals that agonize due to extreme exposure to ionizing radiation (usually during nuclear facility accidents) have captured the imagination of people since the atomic bomb explosions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, and have created deep seated fears [1,2]....

BACKGROUND Although ionizing radiation is very important in diagnostic and treatment of many diseases, the hazards of this radiation are considerable and irrefutable. One of the main stages in radiation protection is knowledge about radiation dose in radiological investigation. The aim of this study was to determine the physicians' knowledge in radiological examinations. MATERIAL AND METHODS ...

Introduction: Nuclear medicine involves the handling and storing of radioactive materials known to pose a risk human health. The size exposure depends on radionuclide, person’s activity type one’s work in nuclear laboratory. Purpose: purpose this literature review is investigate contribution radiation protection safety measures regarding professionals’ health working laboratory, as well patient...

BACKGROUND Radiologic diagnostic and therapeutic procedures using ionizing radiation carry potential health risks. Hence, clients' knowledge about radiation would play a key role in reducing unnecessary imaging and its impacts. However, information on client's knowledge in low income countries specifically in the Ethiopian context has been was limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to as...

BACKGROUND A new initiative was introduced in Ireland following legislative changes that allowed nurses with special training to prescribe ionising radiation (X-ray) for the first time. A small number of studies on nurse prescribing of ionising radiation in other contexts have found it to be broadly as safe as ionising radiation prescribing by physicians. Sociological literature on perceptions ...

The appearance of COVID-19 has set tasks for healthcare professionals related to rapid diagnosis and provision medical care patients. infection is based on the complex application clinical, radiological laboratory research methods[1].Radiation methods used diagnose patients with suspected viral pneumonia another nature include: radiography, computed tomography ultrasound examination lungs.
