  • Estimation of the Collective Effective Dose to the Population from Medical X-Ray Examinations in Finland
    Estimation of the collective effective dose to the population from medical x-ray examinations in Finland Petra Tenkanen-Rautakoskia, Hannu Järvinena, Ritva Blya aRadiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK), PL 14, 00880 Helsinki, Finland Abstract. The collective effective dose to the population from all x-ray examinations in Finland in 2005 was estimated. The numbers of x-ray examinations were collected by a questionnaire to the health care units (response rate 100 %). The effective doses in plain radiography were calculated using a Monte Carlo based program (PCXMC), as average values for selected health care units. For computed tomography (CT), weighted dose length product (DLPw) in a standard phantom was measured for routine CT protocols of four body regions, for 80 % of CT scanners including all types. The effective doses were calculated from DPLw values using published conversion factors. For contrast-enhanced radiology and interventional radiology, the effective dose was estimated mainly by using published DAP values and conversion factors for given body regions. About 733 examinations per 1000 inhabitants (excluding dental) were made in 2005, slightly less than in 2000. The proportions of plain radiography, computed tomography, contrast-enhanced radiography and interventional procedures were about 92, 7, 1 and 1 %, respectively. From 2000, the frequencies (number of examinations per 1000 inhabitants) of plain radiography and contrast-enhanced radiography have decreased about 8 and 33 %, respectively, while the frequencies of CT and interventional radiology have increased about 28 and 38 %, respectively. The population dose from all x-ray examinations is about 0,43 mSv per person (in 1997 0,5 mSv).

Kelly3,4, M. García1 , and F. P. Vidal2 1Grupo de Modelado y Realidad Virtual, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Spain 2School of Computer Science & Electronic Engineering, Bangor University United Kingdom 3School of Health Sciences, Bangor University, United Kingdom 4Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, United Kingdom Figure 1: Results obtained using different anatomical models. Abstract Radiographers need to know a broad range of knowledge about X-ray radiography, which can be specific to each part of the body. Due to the harmfulness of the ionising radiation used, teaching and training using real patients is not ethical. Students have limited access to real X-ray rooms and anatomic phantoms during their studies. Books, and now web apps, containing a set of static pictures are then often used to illustrate clinical cases. In this study, we have built an Interactive X-ray Projectional Simulator using a deformation algorithm with a real-time X-ray image simulator. Users can load various anatomic models and the tool enables virtual model positioning in order to set a specific position and see the corresponding X-ray image. It allows teachers to simulate any particular X-ray projection in a lecturing environment without using real patients and avoiding any kind of radiation risk. This tool also allows the students to reproduce the important parameters of a real X-ray machine in a safe environment. We have performed a face and content validation in which our tool proves to be realistic (72% of the participants agreed that the simulations are visually realistic), useful (67%) and suitable (78%) for teaching X-ray radiography.

  • 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.

  • Radiography Program
    Radiography Program Program Description The Radiography (X-ray) Program at Tulsa Community College is designed to prepare students with the knowledge and skills to function as medical radiographers. The program is nationally accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology. Medical Radiographers/Radiologic Technologists are the medical personnel who perform diagnostic imaging examinations. Radiographers use x-rays to produce black and white images of anatomy. These images are captured on film, computer or videotape. Radiographers are educated in anatomy, patient positioning, examination techniques, equipment protocols, radiation safety, radiation protection and basic patient care. Radiographers often specialize in areas of CT, MRI, Mammography, Cardiovascular Technology, Quality Control, Management and Education. Radiographers work closely with radiologists, physicians who interpret medical images to either diagnose or rule out disease or injury. Program Information Degree Awarded: Associate Degree in Applied Science The Radiography (X-ray) Program admits a new class each year beginning in June (summer term). The number of students admitted to the class is determined by the number of clinical training sites available to place students, which is usually between 30-35 students. Radiography is a two-year (six-semester) program consisting of 48 credit hours of Radiography courses (didactic and clinical) and 22 hours of related general education courses. Lecture and clinical courses run concurrently throughout the two years. Upon completion of the program, graduates receive an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree, and are eligible to apply for examination by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) in Radiography (R). Clinical education classes consist of eight-hour shifts for two to three days per week in the assigned clinical education center.

Marchewka M. , PhD. Płoch D. and Prof. Dr.Sheregii E.M. Centre for Microelectronics and Nanotechnology, University of Rzeszow, Poland [email protected] Abstract: Thermography measurements allow to detect the defects that may appear on a joint at welding of components. Energy pulse generated by a xenon lamp with adequate power in a short period of time is sufficient for thermal excitation and enables to register the temperature distribution using the thermography high resolution camera FLIR SC7000. The impulse with 6kJ energy and 6ms time generate sufficient power to measure the temperature distribution on the surface of the weld tested. During cooling the temperature of the area with defect changes more slowly than in the areas without defects, because of to the less intense heat dissipation. This allows the registration of defects in welds "on-line" at the production process. Material used for analysis detection of defects in the welded joints is Inconel 718, stainless steel 410 and stainless steel 321. The peak energy which flow throw the samples with defects in the welded joints its completely or partially blocked.

  • Radiation and Your Patient: a Guide for Medical Practitioners
    RADIATION AND YOUR PATIENT: A GUIDE FOR MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS A web module produced by Committee 3 of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) What is the purpose of this document ? In the past 100 years, diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine and radiation therapy have evolved from the original crude practices to advanced techniques that form an essential tool for all branches and specialties of medicine. The inherent properties of ionising radiation provide many benefits but also may cause potential harm. In the practice of medicine, there must be a judgement made concerning the benefit/risk ratio. This requires not only knowledge of medicine but also of the radiation risks. This document is designed to provide basic information on radiation mechanisms, the dose from various medical radiation sources, the magnitude and type of risk, as well as answers to commonly asked questions (e.g radiation and pregnancy). As a matter of ease in reading, the text is in a question and answer format. Interventional cardiologists, radiologists, orthopaedic and vascular surgeons and others, who actually operate medical x-ray equipment or use radiation sources, should possess more information on proper technique and dose management than is contained here. However, this text may provide a useful starting point. The most common ionising radiations used in medicine are X, gamma, beta rays and electrons. Ionising radiation is only one part of the electromagnetic spectrum. There are numerous other radiations (e.g. visible light, infrared waves, high frequency and radiofrequency electromagnetic waves) that do not posses the ability to ionize atoms of the absorbing matter.
