Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan01:13

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

352
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (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...

Biological Effects of Radiation02:59

Biological Effects of Radiation

17.5K
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...

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

969
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

Radiation: Applications01:17

Radiation: Applications

1.7K
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.
The average...

Radiation Pressure: Problem Solving01:09

Radiation Pressure: Problem Solving

740
The radiation pressure applied by an electromagnetic wave on a perfectly absorbing surface equals the energy density of the wave. The wave's momentum also gets transferred to the surface when an electromagnetic wave is entirely absorbed by it. The rate at which momentum is transmitted to an absorbing surface perpendicular to the propagation direction equals the force on the surface.
The average value of the rate of momentum transfer divided by the absorbing area represents the average force...

Nuclear Power02:36

Nuclear Power

9.2K
Controlled nuclear fission reactions are used to generate electricity. Any nuclear reactor that produces power via the fission of uranium or plutonium by bombardment with neutrons has six components: nuclear fuel consisting of fissionable material, a nuclear moderator, a neutron source, control rods, reactor coolant, and a shield and containment system.
Nuclear Fuels
Nuclear fuel consists of a fissile isotope, such as uranium-235, which must be present in sufficient quantity to provide a...

    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear Science and Engineering
    • Radiation Protection
    • Occupational Health

    Background:

    • The 2007 International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Recommendations necessitate updates to dose calculations for internal exposure.
    • Previous ICRP publications (30 series, 68, 54, 78) require revision due to new biokinetic data and updated dosimetric models.
    • A new series, Occupational Intakes of Radionuclides (OIR), is introduced to supersede earlier publications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide updated dose coefficients and biokinetic models for internal radionuclide exposure in occupational settings.
    • To support the design of effective monitoring programs and retrospective dose assessments.
    • To present comprehensive dosimetric data for a specific group of elements and their radioisotopes.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of new biokinetic models and dose coefficients by ICRP Committee 2 and task groups.
    • Compilation of radionuclide-specific information, including chemical forms, isotopes, and physical properties.
    • Generation of committed effective dose per intake and per content data, along with retention and excretion functions.

    Main Results:

    • Publication of OIR Part 4, providing updated data for lanthanum, cerium, and other actinide and lanthanide elements.
    • Inclusion of tables for committed effective dose per intake (inhalation/ingestion) and per content (inhalation).
    • Availability of comprehensive electronic files with dose coefficients, functions, and bioassay data.

    Conclusions:

    • The OIR series, including this publication, provides essential updated data for occupational radiation protection.
    • The new data facilitate more accurate assessments of internal occupational exposure to a wide range of radionuclides.
    • These resources are crucial for implementing robust radiation monitoring and dose assessment strategies in the workplace.
