Measurement of the Adsorbed Radiation Dose to Eyelens During CT Scan and Radiotherapy of Nasopharynx Cancer
Introduction: The study of the cause of death during the last few decades has shown that death due to infectious diseases has been declining and has been rising due to noninvasive diseases, especially cancers and accidents. Cancer is considered as one of the fatal diseases, and every year, more than 10.9 million people worldwide are diagnosed with the disease. Mater...
متن کاملOptimization of Radiation Dose in Cranial Computed Tomography among Adults: Assessment of Radiation Dose against Image Quality
Introduction: The rapid use of computed tomography (CT) scan is of great concern, due to increase in patients’ dose. Optimization of CT protocol is a vital issue in dose reduction. This study aimed to optimize radiation dose in cranial CT and assess modifications in image quality under radiation dose reduction. Material and Methods: A poly(me...
متن کاملMeasurement of organ dose in abdomen-pelvis CT exam as a function of mA, KV and scanner type by Monte Carlo method .
Background: CT is a diagnostic imaging modality giving higher patient dose in comparison with other radiological procedures, so the calculation of organ dose in CT exams is very important. While methods to calculate the effective dose have been established (ICRP 26 and ICRP 60), they depend heavily on the ability to estimate the dose to radiosensitive organs from the CT procedure. However, dete...
متن کاملVariations in radiation dose between the same model of multislice CT scanner at different hospitals.
The variation in exposure factors and patient dose, between seven centres using identical multislice CT scanners, was investigated for six standard examinations. Dose values were compared with each other and the relevant diagnostic reference level (DRL) for each examination. The range in weighted CT dose index (CTDI(w)) values between the seven centres was small for abdominal scans and head sca...
متن کاملRadiation dose in cardiac CT.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to familiarize the radiologist with radiation dose in cardiac CT imaging and explain the current methods for dose reduction. CONCLUSION Advances in CT technology have resulted in a significant increase in cardiac CT applications. It is imperative that the radiologist understand the resulting dose implication to the patient and actively engage in optima...
