This review covers the role of medical physics in addressing issues directly related to patient
dosimetry in radiography, fluoroscopy, mammography, and CT. The sections on radiography …

Vascular interventional procedures carried out under fluoroscopic guidance often involve
high radiation doses. Above certain thresholds, radiation can cause significant damage to …

The technique of radiographic subtraction was first described in 1935 (Ziedses des Plantes,
1935), although the first English language paper on the subject did not appear until 27 years …

PURPOSE: To calculate the difference in the patient radiation dose in radiologically guided
interventional vascular procedures between conventional and digital systems and to …

PURPOSE To evaluate stochastic and deterministic risks associated with
neurointerventional procedures for the patient. METHODS Eight neurovascular …

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recommended the monitoring of radiation skin
dose to patients during procedures having the potential for radiation damage. Radiologists …

Background Radiation exposure to patients and personnel remains a major concern in the
practice of interventional radiology, with minimal literature available on exposure to the …

In patients with pulmonary valve atresia, the arterial supply to the lungs is derived entirely
from the aorta or its major branches. The anatomic detail of this arterial supply is usually …

A four year study has been undertaken into the effects on the workload and cost implications
of the introduction of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in a large United Kingdom …

Die DSA ist vor allem als iv DSA relativ strahlenintensiv. Im Vergleich mit der herkömmlichen
Angiographie macht die bei der iv DSA um eine Größenordnung niedrigere KM …
