This study evaluates pre- and post-clinical training radiation protection awareness knowledge among medical imaging students. A cross-sectional of 120 students from Malaysian public universities was undertaken. The survey is based on the developed Healthcare Professional Knowledge Radiation Protection (HPKRP) scale. There a significant difference between pre in their but no other radiological k...

This paper presents a simple radiologicd image guidance method and robotic system optimized for percutaneous procedures. This simplicity is achieved by combining the proven guidance procedure normally employed by practicing surgeons with a simple and cost-effective needle injection device. The needle injector exhibits an extremely low radiological profile while providing actuated needle motion....

Background Department of Radiology is one of the intermediate cost centres for supporting patient treatment in wards and clinics in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (UKMMC). A total of 121,221 procedures were performed in 2011. Unfortunately, since UKMMC began its operations, the actual cost of each procedure in this particular department has never been studied. Hence, it is import...

Abstract The renal arteries arise from the lateral side of abdominal aorta at L2 vertebral level, just below origin superior mesenteric artery. Multiple aberrant can pose difficulties in transplantation, interventional radiological and urological procedures, artery embolization, angioplasty, or vascular reconstruction for congenital acquired lesions. We present a case left kidney supplied by al...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the radiation dose of the main body CT examinations performed routinely in four regional diagnostic centres, the specific contribution of radiologists and technologists in determining CT dose levels, and the role of radiological staff training in reducing radiation doses. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the radiation dose in terms of dose-length product (DLP) value...

PURPOSE To investigate the level of doctors' and intern doctors' knowledge about patients' radiation exposure doses during common radiological examinations. MATERIALS AND METHODS A questionnaire listing the radiation doses of routine radiological diagnostic procedures was administered to 177 doctors and intern doctors. We asked them to find the equivalent doses of radiation for common radiolo...
