The evaluation of radiation burden in vivo is crucial modern radiology as stated also the European Directive 2013/59/Euratom-Basic Safety Standard. Although dose monitoring can impact justification and optimization radiological procedure, well effective patient communication, standardization software far to be achieved. Toward this goal, Italian Association Medical Physics (AIFM) published a report describing state art standard guidelines system quality assurance. This article reports AIFM...
Abstract Data were collected from 642 orthopaedic interventions during which the images produced by X-rays recorded. By examining these images, it is possible to determine time that surgeons’ hands exposed direct radiation beam. The procedures with greater exposure beam those involving hand (median 15 s) and wrist 13 s). Two surgeons wore a ring measure absorbed dose at fingers: one on dominant other non-dominant hand. two performed 34 48 operations, respectively, in 14 months. total doses...
The goal of this paper is to test the attenuation capability seven models protective eyewear used in routine clinical practice. Scattered radiation from a standard patient was simulated by using water tank located over treatment couch GE Innova 3100 x-ray angiography system. Seven were tested an anthropomorphic phantom mimicking first operator. At each test, 4 thermoluminiscent dosimeters placed on (respectively front eyewear, under left earpiece and at chest level) order have...
The aim of this study was to determine the dosimetric parameters radiation which orthopedic in-patients are exposed, using data drawn from hospital's picture archiving and communication system. Data for 310 patients, relating seven different anatomical districts, were examined. Femoral operations divided into three types. 75th percentile dose at interventional reference point (IRP) exceeded 2 mGy only femoral interventions (4.6-6.2 mGy) with kerma-area product (KAP) values ranging 84.8 109.1...
5537 Background: Primary head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) their recurrences can heavily affect patient’s quality of life (QoL). Aim our study was the evaluation impact treatment on QoL, physical psychological functioning patients affected by recurrent end-stage HNSCC. Methods: The sample composed 34 tumour as follows: exclusive RT (radiotherapy) 18%, S+RT 55%, + chemotherapy (CT) 27%.In order to evaluate late effects we used RTOG – EORTC radiation morbidity score plus DISCHE...
The data analysed came from 545 patients and were related to five types of procedures performed in the urology operating room: percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS), ureteropyeloscopy (UPS), ureteral catheterisation nephrostomy. Local reference levels (75th percentiles) determined for various procedures. peak entrance skin dose a patient 20 cm thick was highest PCNL, being 82 mGy, followed by 43 mGy nephrostomy, 23 RIRS, UPS 17 stenting. Even taking into...
