1. Estimating patient peak skin dose with fluoroscopic procedures
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysikAbstract : During image guided interventional radiology (IR) procedures, acute X-ray induced skin injuries may occur due to high absorbed patient skin dose. These procedures are highly dependent on X-ray imaging both for guiding fluoroscopy and high quality diagnostic image acquisitions. READ MORE

2. Validation of simulation tool for C-arm X-ray systems : Source and scatter model
University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)Abstract : Continuous improvement of image quality is one of the priorities in medical imaging. Therefore, development of a simulation tool allowing to generate realistic images would be of great value to understand better the impact of the components on the image quality metrics and to choose imaging set-ups or new design features to optimize output of existing systems and to prototype new ones and to formalize the link between objective and subjective image quality metrics.

3. Modeling of scatter radiation during interventional X-ray procedures
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Avdelningen för radiologiska vetenskaper; Linköpings universitet/Medicinska fakultetenAbstract : During catheterized x-ray interventions the patient and medical staff is exposed to scatter radiation, as a consequence of tissue interactions. Ionizing radiation for medical purpose is potentially dangerous and can cause malignancy, skin damage and more. READ MORE

4. Staff dose measurement in real time, an evaluation of Unfors Raysafe i2
University essay from Institutionen för fysikAbstract : Interventional radiology workers job involves exposure to ionizing radiation. In Sweden monitoring the accumulated dose to the personnel in professions, which involves with ionizing radiation, is mandatory. There are many applications that can visualize and measure the accumulated dose of the personnel. READ MORE

5. Dosimetry for the Lens of the Eye, Applications for Medical Staff Involved in Interventional Radiology Procedures
University essay from Lunds universitet/SjukhusfysikerutbildningenAbstract : "Background: Cataract (opacity of the lens of the eye) has always been thought of as a deterministic effect. That is, that there is a threshold dose below which damage does not occur. However, recent studies suggest a lower threshold and the question whether there is any threshold at all has been raised.
