Patient radiation exposure during general fluoroscopy examinations
The purpose of this study was to assess the level of patient radiation dose received in general fluoroscopy examinations, compare the findings with the international diagnostic reference levels (IDRLs), and establish the initial institutional (local) LDRLs. A comprehensive survey was conducted for general fluoroscopy examinations using the medical records of a Radiology Department of a leading ...
متن کاملRadiographer Delivered Fluoroscopy Reduces Radiation Exposure During Endoscopic Urological Procedures
INTRODUCTION The 1999 Ionising Radiation Regulations recommend that medical professionals using ionising radiation should aim to keep exposure as 'low as reasonably practicable'. Urologists regularly use fluoroscopy during endoscopic surgical procedures. In some institutions, this is delivered by a radiographer whereas in others, it is delivered by the urological surgeon. OBJECTIVES To determ...
متن کاملRadiation safety issues in fluoroscopy during percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
INTRODUCTION Fluoroscopy-guided intervention during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has become the order of the day. During this procedure, both the patient and the physician are exposed to some radiation. Measurement of radiation doses in patients and personnel are important. Patient radiation doses are used for comparison with other centers for achieving the best possible radiation practi...
متن کاملStudy of scattered radiation during fluoroscopy in hip surgery*
OBJECTIVE To measure the scattered radiation dose at different positions simulating hip surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS We simulated fluoroscopy-assisted hip surgery in order to study the distribution of scattered radiation in the operating room. To simulate the patient, we used a anthropomorphic whole-body phantom, and we used an X-ray-specific detector to quantify the radiation. Radiographs ...
متن کاملRadiation Protection in CT Fluoroscopy
This article discusses the dose to the operator and radiation protection in computed tomographic fluoroscopy (CTF)-guided intervention. One of the major limitations of CTF is excessive radiation exposure to the operator, in particular, to his or her hands. Therefore, we developed biopsy needle-holders that permit the operator to manipulate the needle without placing his or her hands in the dire...
