Abstract:
According to the obligations provided by the Legislative Decree 241/2000, this study was performed to evaluate the annual average concentration of radon in banking premises existing in Apulia. Passive detectors were placed in areas distant from sources of heat and/or air. The following information was gathered about the workplaces: their position regarding soil, external apertures (doors and windows), ventilation and air-conditioning systems, wall and floor characteristics. In 74 bank branches 324 measurements were carried out. The values ranged from a minimum of 2 Bq/m3 to a maximum of 848 Bq/m3; the mean concentration was 94,11 Bq/m3 (DS +/- 119,73). In 5 measurements the values exceeded the maximum limit of 500 Bq/m3; besides, 6 values was ranged from 400 to 500 Bq/m3. These data seem to be influenced by the geological features of the Apulian sub-surface with karst phenomena.

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...
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...
