introduction: a comparision of cytogenetic methods in the evaluation of occupationally received radiation dose by medical radiation workwrs and a study of adaptive response to subsequent higher radiation exposure in this group.the purpose of this research was to study the effects of two cryoprotectants on viability, motility, morphology and fertilization rate of mouse sperm after freezing-thawi...

A simple, convenient method is described for the detection in human urine of three major classes of drugs of abuse: amphetamines, barbiturates, and alkaloids. The drugs are adsorbed from urine by a column of non-ionic resin (Amberlite XAD.2), eluted with methanol, and chromatographed on a thinlayer silica gel plate. The drugs are made visible and identified by a series of procedures involving e...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The use of intraoperative angiography to assess the results of neurovascular surgery is increasing. The purpose of this study was to measure the radiation dose to patients and personnel during intraoperative angiography and to determine the effect of experience. METHODS Fifty consecutive intraoperative angiographic studies were performed during aneurysmal clipping or ar...

In the June 2014 issue of the Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, an article by Neep et al. is on the subject of ‘frontline radiographer commenting’, in the context of abnormalities of the musculoskeletal system due to trauma. I would like to use this article as a timely catalyst to debate some of the issues that the profession is currently facing. In this editorial the term ‘radiographer’ w...

Background: In response to the need for diagnosis and treatment, medical radiation has been increasingly used worldwide. This study investigated the medical utilization of radiation-related diseases among radiological technologists (RTs) and factors that influence such diseases. Materials and Methods: Data were collected from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. A panel study...
