The potential biological effects of in utero radiation exposure of a developing fetus include
prenatal death, intrauterine growth restriction, small head size, mental retardation, organ …

PURPOSE: To determine patient radiation doses for interventional radiology and neuroradiology
procedures, to identify procedures associated with higher radiation doses, and to …

The concept of “effective dose” was introduced in 1975 to provide a mechanism for assessing
the radiation detriment from partial body irradiations in terms of data derived from whole …

PURPOSE: To determine peak skin dose (PSD), a measure of the likelihood of radiation-induced
skin effects, for a variety of common interventional radiology and interventional …

The primary goal of radiation management in interventional radiology is to minimize the
unnecessary use of radiation. Clinical radiation management minimizes radiation risk to the …

OBJECTIVE For diagnosis, assessing disease activity, complications and extraintestinal
manifestations, and monitoring response to therapy, patients with inflammatory bowel disease …

The authors hypothesized that the degree of contrast material enhancement of a pulmonary
nodule, measured with computed tomography (CT), may indicate the likelihood of …

Reference values (RVs) are recommended by the American Association of Physicists in
Medicine for four radiographic projections, computed tomography, fluoroscopy, and dental …

Staff are exposed to potentially high levels of radiation exposure during interventional
radiology procedures. Radiation protection shielding devices should be used to help maintain …

A study was conducted to investigate how operator exposure in interventional radiology is
affected by various common fluoroscopic imaging conditions. Stray radiation levels …
