  1. 1. Exposure Monitoring and Dosimetry - Optimizing Radiation Protection in Interventional Cardiology

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik; Umeå universitet/Institutionen för strålningsvetenskaper

    Author : Amanda Pettersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Interventional cardiology; Radiation protection; Air kerma measurements; Radiation shielding; Projection angle;

    Abstract : During interventional cardiology (IC), medical staff are exposed to scattered ionizing radiation from the patient, potentially leading to various radiation-induced health effects. Therefore, shielding devices are routinely used to reduce occupational exposure during IC procedures. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modeling of scatter radiation during interventional X-ray procedures

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Avdelningen för radiologiska vetenskaper; Linköpings universitet/Medicinska fakulteten

    Author : Emelie Rehn; [2015]
    Keywords : medical staff; personnel; practitioner; staff exposure; physician; operator; occupational exposure; radiation protection; protection in medical x-ray imaging; x-ray exposure; radiation dose; radiation scatter; fluoroscopy; interventional x-ray procedures; interventional radiology; angiography; fluoroscopically guided procedures; interventional radiology dosimetry; interventional cardiology dosimetry; catheterization interventions;

    Abstract : 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. 3. Dosimetry for the Lens of the Eye, Applications for Medical Staff Involved in Interventional Radiology Procedures

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Therese Geber; [2010]
    Keywords : Röntgen; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : "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. READ MORE
