Organ dose in kidney imaging with contrast media
Introduction:Intravenous urography (IVU) test includes high number of images and extended imaging size. These make IVU as a diagnostic method with high absorbed doses by sensitive organs such as intestine and gonads in pelvic-abdominal area. In this study absorbed doses of pelvic-abdomen sensitive organs such as Adrenal, Bladder, Colon and Gonads in IVU test. <stron...
متن کاملThe effect of CT contrast agents on treatment planning and dose calculation in radiation therapy of pelvis cancers
Introduction: Using contrast medium in diagnosis and identifying of an organ from its surrounding tissue is very useful. These contrast mediums alter radiation absorption of studied organs. The aim of this study is to identify the influences of contrast media in treatment planning system of the pelvis. Materials and Methods: Seven patients with pelvis area ...
متن کاملThe effect of contrast agent on delivered dose during diagnostic imaging of thoracic region
This study evaluated the impact of contrast material on the estimation of absorbed dose due to computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) using the ICRP reference phantoms. To address this issue, we modified the previously developed physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to be conformed to the ICRP reference phantoms. Regarding the standard contrast material injection protocol...
متن کاملAcute appendicitis in young adults: low- versus standard-radiation-dose contrast-enhanced abdominal CT for diagnosis.
PURPOSE To compare low and standard radiation doses in intravenous contrast material-enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in young adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS The institutional review board approved this retrospective study and waived informed consent. The study included 257 patients (age range, 15-40 years) who underwent CT for suspected appen...
متن کاملFDG-avid portal vein tumor thrombosis from hepatocellular carcinoma in contrast-enhanced FDG PET/CT
Objective(s): In this study, we aimed to describe the characteristics of portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT), complicating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in contrast-enhanced FDG PET/CT scan. Methods: In this retrospective study, 9 HCC patients with FDG-avid PVTT were diagnosed by contrast-enhanced fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT), which is a comb...
