Biological Effects of Radiation02:59

Biological Effects of Radiation

18.1K
All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...

Internal Energy02:00

Internal Energy

36.9K
The total of all possible kinds of energy present in a substance is called the internal energy (U), sometimes symbolized as E. Suppose a system with initial internal energy, Uinitial, undergoes a change in energy (transfer of work or heat), and the final internal energy of the system is Ufinal. Change in internal energy equals the difference between Ufinal and Uinitial.

Internal Receptors

74.8K
Many cellular signals are hydrophilic and therefore cannot pass through the plasma membrane. However, small or hydrophobic signaling molecules can cross the hydrophobic core of the plasma membrane and bind to internal, or intracellular, receptors that reside within the cell. Many mammalian steroid hormones use this mechanism of cell signaling, as does nitric oxide (NO) gas.

Radiation: Applications

1.8K
The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.

Drug Dosing in Renal Diseases: Measurement of Glomerular Filtration Rate

The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a critical indicator of kidney health, reflecting how well the kidneys filter blood. Changes in GFR can signal potential kidney impairment, necessitating accurate measurement methods to monitor kidney function effectively.Various molecules can serve as markers for GFR measurement, with the ideal marker meeting several specific criteria. It must freely filter at the glomerulus, avoid reabsorption or secretion by the renal tubules, remain unmetabolized, not...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiological Dosimetry
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Accurate estimation of internal radiation dose distribution is critical for computed tomography (CT) examinations, especially in pediatric patients.
  • Traditional dosimetry methods may have limitations in precisely mapping dose distribution within complex anatomical structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel dosimetry method for estimating internal radiation dose distribution during CT scans.
  • To assess the feasibility of using polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin phantoms for dose estimation.
  • To investigate the impact of bowtie filters on dose distribution.

Main Methods:

  • A polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin phantom, sized for a Japanese 1-year-old child's head, was used to measure radiophotoluminance distribution.
  • A charge-coupled device camera imaged the luminance distribution from the PET phantom exposed to CT scans.
  • Dose distribution was simulated using a water phantom of equivalent size and compared with PET phantom luminance data.
  • The influence of different bowtie filter types on dose distribution was visualized.

Main Results:

  • A linear correlation was established between the luminance measured from the PET phantom and the simulated water dose.
  • The novel PET resin dosimetry method demonstrated relative differences within 20% when compared to simulated water doses.
  • The study successfully visualized dose distribution variations attributable to different bowtie filter types.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed PET resin-based dosimetry method offers a viable approach for estimating internal radiation dose distribution in CT examinations.
  • This method provides a practical tool for understanding dose variations and optimizing CT protocols, particularly for pediatric dosimetry.
  • The findings support the use of PET resin phantoms as a reliable phantom material for CT dosimetry research.
