Skin dose measurement for patients using imaging plates in interventional radiology procedures.
A method using europium-doped BaFBr imaging plates (IPs) has been developed to estimate and map values of entrance skin doses during interventional radiology (IR). IPs offer many advantages for measuring the entrance skin dose because they have a wide dynamic range (up to 100 Gy), provide high spatial resolution as a detector of two-dimensional images, and can be used repeatedly. The entrance s...
متن کاملCharacterization of a MOSkin detector for in vivo skin dose measurements during interventional radiology procedures.
PURPOSE The MOSkin is a MOSFET detector designed especially for skin dose measurements. This detector has been characterized for various factors affecting its response for megavoltage photon beams and has been used for patient dose measurements during radiotherapy procedures. However, the characteristics of this detector in kilovoltage photon beams and low dose ranges have not been studied. The...
متن کاملRadiation doses in interventional radiology procedures: the RAD-IR study: part II: skin dose.
PURPOSE To determine peak skin dose (PSD), a measure of the likelihood of radiation-induced skin effects, for a variety of common interventional radiology and interventional neuroradiology procedures, and to identify procedures associated with a PSD greater than 2 Gy. MATERIALS AND METHODS An observational study was conducted at seven academic medical centers in the United States. Sites prosp...
متن کامل[Estimation of the effective dose of patient in interventional radiology: study of coronary angiography].
The applications of interventional radiology (IVR) increasingly are being used in clinical examinations, where they tend to extend examination time. In addition, the risk of occupational exposure necessarily is increasing with this technology. In this study, the dose distributions in a sliced acrylic-acid phantom involving the bore for each irradiation condition were measured using a thermolumi...
متن کاملMinimizing radiation-induced skin injury in interventional radiology procedures.
Skin injury is a deterministic effect of radiation. Once a threshold dose has been exceeded, the severity of the radiation effect at any point on the skin increases with increasing dose. Peak skin dose is defined as the highest dose delivered to any portion of the patient's skin. Reducing peak skin dose can reduce the likelihood and type of skin injury. Unfortunately, peak skin dose is difficul...
