Designing a shield to reduce radiation dose during mammography: Dosimetric evaluation
Background: This paper presents a method to reduce radiation exposure during mammography by analysing the doses to ipsilateral and contralateral breasts and to adjacent organs by evaluating material-dependent shielding performance. Materials and Methods: Six target-filter combinations (Mo-Mo, Mo-Rh, Rh-Rh, Rh-Mo, W-Mo, W-Rh) were tested by measuring the doses delivered to the breasts and adjac...
متن کاملOperator radiation exposure during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
Operator radiation exposure during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty as compared with that during routine coronary angiography is unknown. Therefore, cumulative radiation exposure at operator eye level was measured in two physicians (operators 1 and 2) during performance of coronary angioplasty and routine coronary angiography. The physicians participated together during angioplast...
متن کاملRadiation dose in percutaneous coronary intervention: OUCH․․․ did that hurt?
The cumulative exposure to ionizing radiation from medical imaging is increasing with attention now focused on all aspects of radiation safety (1). In this issue of JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, Fetterly et al. (2) present their study on the factors that influence radiation dose during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Interventional cardiologists have a variety of tasks to maste...
متن کاملSpot fluoroscopy: a novel innovative approach to reduce radiation dose in neurointerventional procedures
Background Increased interest in radiation dose reduction in neurointerventional procedures has led to the development of a method called "spot fluoroscopy" (SF), which enables the operator to collimate a rectangular or square region of interest anywhere within the general field of view. This has potential advantages over conventional collimation, which is limited to symmetric collimation cente...
متن کاملOperator radiation exposure during percutaneous coronary procedures through the left or right radial approach: the TALENT dosimetric substudy.
BACKGROUND Transradial percutaneous coronary procedures may be effectively performed through the right radial approach (RRA) or the left radial approach (LRA), but data on radiation dose absorbed by operators comparing the two approaches are lacking. The aim of the present study was to evaluate radiation dose absorbed by operators during coronary procedures through the RRA and LRA. METHODS AN...
