Exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation from medical imaging procedures.

25 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: The growing use of imaging procedures in the United States has raised concerns about exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation in the general population. METHODS: We identified 952,420 nonelderly adults (between 18 and 64 years of age) in ... Read more...

Software for the estimation of organ equivalent and effective doses from diagnostic radiology procedures.

16 Aug 2009 Diagnostic radiological imaging such as conventional radiography, fluoroscopy and computed tomography (CT) examinations will continue to provide tremendous benefits in modern healthcare. The benefit derived by the patient should far outweigh the ... Read more...

Patient and staff doses for some complex x-ray examinations.

16 Aug 2009 The aim of this study was to measure patient and staff doses simultaneously for some complex x-ray examinations. Measurements of dose-area product (DAP) and entrance skin dose (ESD) were carried out in a sample of 107 adult patients who underwent ... Read more...
