  • Acr–Nasci–Sir–Spr Practice Parameter for the Performance and Interpretation of Body Computed Tomography Angiography (Cta)
    The American College of Radiology, with more than 30,000 members, is the principal organization of radiologists, radiation oncologists, and clinical medical physicists in the United States. The College is a nonprofit professional society whose primary purposes are to advance the science of radiology, improve radiologic services to the patient, study the socioeconomic aspects of the practice of radiology, and encourage continuing education for radiologists, radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and persons practicing in allied professional fields. The American College of Radiology will periodically define new practice parameters and technical standards for radiologic practice to help advance the science of radiology and to improve the quality of service to patients throughout the United States. Existing practice parameters and technical standards will be reviewed for revision or renewal, as appropriate, on their fifth anniversary or sooner, if indicated. Each practice parameter and technical standard, representing a policy statement by the College, has undergone a thorough consensus process in which it has been subjected to extensive review and approval. The practice parameters and technical standards recognize that the safe and effective use of diagnostic and therapeutic radiology requires specific training, skills, and techniques, as described in each document. Reproduction or modification of the published practice parameter and technical standard by those entities not providing these services is not authorized. Revised 2021 (Resolution 47)* ACR–NASCI–SIR–SPR PRACTICE PARAMETER FOR THE PERFORMANCE AND INTERPRETATION OF BODY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY ANGIOGRAPHY (CTA) PREAMBLE This document is an educational tool designed to assist practitioners in providing appropriate radiologic care for patients. Practice Parameters and Technical Standards are not inflexible rules or requirements of practice and are not intended, nor should they be used, to establish a legal standard of care1.

  • X-Ray (Radiography) - Bone Bone X-Ray Uses a Very Small Dose of Ionizing Radiation to Produce Pictures of Any Bone in the Body
    X-ray (Radiography) - Bone Bone x-ray uses a very small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of any bone in the body. It is commonly used to diagnose fractured bones or joint dislocation. Bone x-rays are the fastest and easiest way for your doctor to view and assess bone fractures, injuries and joint abnormalities. This exam requires little to no special preparation. Tell your doctor and the technologist if there is any possibility you are pregnant. Leave jewelry at home and wear loose, comfortable clothing. You may be asked to wear a gown. What is Bone X-ray (Radiography)? An x-ray exam helps doctors diagnose and treat medical conditions. It exposes you to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body. X-rays are the oldest and most often used form of medical imaging. A bone x-ray makes images of any bone in the body, including the hand, wrist, arm, elbow, shoulder, spine, pelvis, hip, thigh, knee, leg (shin), ankle or foot. What are some common uses of the procedure? A bone x-ray is used to: diagnose fractured bones or joint dislocation. demonstrate proper alignment and stabilization of bony fragments following treatment of a fracture. guide orthopedic surgery, such as spine repair/fusion, joint replacement and fracture reductions. look for injury, infection, arthritis, abnormal bone growths and bony changes seen in metabolic conditions. assist in the detection and diagnosis of bone cancer. locate foreign objects in soft tissues around or in bones. How should I prepare? Most bone x-rays require no special preparation.

  • Diagnostic Radiology Physics Diagnostic This Publication Provides a Comprehensive Review of Topics Relevant to Diagnostic Radiology Physics
    A Handbook for Teachers and Students A Handbook for Teachers Diagnostic Diagnostic This publication provides a comprehensive review of topics relevant to diagnostic radiology physics. It is intended to provide the basis for the education of medical physicists in the field of diagnostic radiology. Bringing together the work of 41 authors and reviewers from 12 countries, the handbook covers a broad range of topics including radiation physics, dosimetry and Radiology instrumentation, image quality and image perception, imaging modality specific topics, recent advances in digital techniques, and radiation biology and protection. It is not designed to replace the large number of textbooks available on many aspects of diagnostic radiology physics, but is expected Radiology Physics Physics to fill a gap in the teaching material for medical radiation physics in imaging, providing in a single manageable volume the broadest coverage of topics currently available. The handbook has been endorsed by several international professional bodies and will be of value to those preparing for their certification A Handbook for as medical physicists, radiologists and diagnostic radiographers.
