Abstract:
The paper presents current recommendations on radiological protection concerning medical exposure, especially during X-ray diagnostic examinations. Major factors responsible for the level of radiological risk for patients undergoing X-ray examinations are also discussed. (In Poland about 28 million X-ray examinations are performed annually.) A thorough evaluation of 18 X-ray units used in diagnostic laboratories in the Lódź district is presented. It was found that only 6 of 18 X-ray units controlled, satisfy best the evaluation criteria laid down according to the recommendations of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The significance of satisfying individual criteria for the achievement of high quality radiological examinations was highlighted.

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
