Device enhancement using rotational X-ray angiography
Implantable cardiac devices, such as stents and septal defect closure devices are sometimes difficult to see on angiographic X-ray projection images. We present a method to enhance the visibility of these devices in rotational X-ray angiography acquisitions using automated marker detection and motion compensation. Automatic marker detection allows registration of the devices in the images of th...
متن کاملDosimetry of Occupational Radiation around Panoramic X-ray Apparatus
Background: Panoramic imaging is one of the most common imaging methods in dentistry. Regarding the side-effects of ionizing radiation, it is necessary to survey different aspects and details of panoramic imaging. In this study, we compared the absorbed x-ray dose around two panoramic x-ray units: PM 2002 CC Proline (Planmeca, Helsinki, Finland) and Cranex Tome (Soredex, Helsinki, Finland).<br ...
متن کاملRadiation Hormesis
The word “hormesis” is derived from the Greek word “hormaein” meaning: “to excite,” which is the origin of the word “hormone.” In 1902, the English physiologist, E. Starling, discovered that an acid extract from the human duodenum contained a substance designated as secretin that, when discharged into the bloodstream, stimulated the pancreas to release its secretions when food has passed throug...
متن کاملSurvey of the Use of X-ray Beam Collimator and Shielding Tools during Infant Chest Radiography
Background The use of shielding tools and X-ray beam collimator has extensively been advocated as effective methods to reduce radiation exposure to patients underwent radiological procedures. The aim of this study was to address the use of these protection measures during infant chest radiography. Material and Methods 348digital and/or analogue infant chest radiographs were reviewed that perfor...
