Radiation dose of caregivers could be reduced in thyroid carcinoma patients requiring high dose of radioactive iodine: A case report
Undesired radiation exposure to caregivers is an important problem in radioiodine therapy in thyroid carcinoma patients, especially when patient is non-ambulatory. Special precautions are needed to keep the exposure to caregivers low when higher dose of radioiodine is necessary. Here we present a case-report of a 74-year old male patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma with local invasion and...
متن کاملBone marrow radiation dosimetry of high dose 131I treatment in differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients
Background: Radiation absorbed dose to the red bone marrow, a critical organ in the therapy of thyroid carcinoma, is generally kept below 2 Gy for non-myeloablative therapies. The aim of this study was to calculate bone marrow radiation dose by using MIRDOSE3 package program and to optimize the safe limit of activity to be administered to the thyroid cancer patients. Materials and Methods: In t...
متن کاملRenal consequences of rapid high dose contrast CT.
A retrospective study of renal deterioration after high doses (80 g l) of intravenous contrast medium was done of 286 adult patients. The incidence, duration, and severity of renal deterioration were compared with those reported in a series of 377 similar patients after low dose contrast infusion (43 g l). No statistically significant difference between these groups was seen in nondiabetics wit...
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 کاملHigh dose rate radiation treatment of experimental intramuscular prostate carcinoma.
PURPOSE The Dunning R3327-MLL is a well established transplanted tumour line, and as such it makes a desirable model for evaluative studies of therapy. In the current study, the interstitial growth characteristics as well as the response of this tumour to a single fraction of high dose rate radiation is investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS The in vitro response to radiation of the Dunning R332...
