Radiation exposure in cardiac multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT)
Computed tomographic (CT) imaging involves exposure to ionizing radiation, with a consequent potential risk to the patient. Here we review the technical factors that affect the radiation dose in cardiac CT diagnostic procedures, the parameters that are used to measure and compare radiation doses, the magnitude of radiation exposure, and how to efficiently reduce it.
متن کاملRadiation Doses from Computed tomography in Iraq
Radiation doses to Patient during CT scanner and the radiological risk are significant. Patient dose survey has been conducted toinvestigate the Iraq patient radiation dosesreceived in CT scanners in order to established reference dose levels. These doses are Entrance Surface Dose (ESD),computed tomography dose index(CTDI)), and dose length product (DLP). Two CT scanner were investigated in thi...
متن کاملPromoting Radiation Safety Protocols in Computed Tomography.
In recent years, use of computed tomography (CT) has increased dramatically. Increased dose from radiography, and CT in particular, has led many physicians and patients to question the cancer risks and overall safety of modern imaging. It is essential for radiologic technologists to be properly trained and certified in CT and to understand technical factors and how they are related to radiation...
متن کاملNoninvasive coronary angiography with multislice computed tomography.
CONTEXT Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) has recently evolved as a modality for noninvasive coronary imaging. OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy and robustness of MSCT vs the criterion standard of invasive coronary angiography for detection of obstructive coronary artery disease. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Prospective, single-center study conducted in a referral center setting in Germ...
متن کاملRadiation doses to emergency department patients undergoing computed tomography.
OBJECTIVES Computed tomography (CT) use is increasing in the emergency department (ED). Many physicians are concerned about exposing patients to radiation from CT scanning, but estimates of radiation doses vary. This study's objective was to determine the radiation doses from CT scanning for common indications in a Canadian ED using modern multidetector CT scanners. METHODS We conducted a hea...
