Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray01:20

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

311
The most common cardiovascular diagnostic test is an X-ray. It produces images of the heart, blood vessels, and adjacent structures.
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...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

88
Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiology
  • Radiation Safety

Background:

  • Establishing typical doses (TD) and typical values (TV) is crucial for radiation safety in fluoroscopic procedures.
  • Variability in radiation exposure necessitates standardized benchmarks for diagnostic and interventional radiology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement TD/TV for common fluoroscopic diagnostic and interventional procedures.
  • To establish benchmarks for dose area product (DAP), cumulative air kerma (CAK), and fluoroscopy time (FT).
  • To compare implemented TD/TV with national reference levels and other single-facility studies.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 3811 fluoroscopic procedures across three devices over 34 months.
  • Extraction of dose, patient, and procedure data using an institutional dose management system (DMS).
  • Calculation of TD/TV for the five most frequent procedures per device, focusing on DAP, CAK, and FT.

Main Results:

  • TD/TV were implemented for 15 procedures, with DAP TD ranging from 0.6 Gycm² to 145.9 Gycm².
  • CAK TD ranged from 5 mGy to 1397 mGy, and FT TV ranged from 0.3 min to 51.4 min.
  • DMS data coverage varied from 71% to 78%, indicating 22%-29% of procedures lacked dose data transfer.

Conclusions:

  • Implemented TD/TV provide a foundation for comprehensive dose analysis and inter-facility comparisons in fluoroscopy.
  • Findings suggest that TD/TV for DAP and CAK are comparable to or lower than existing benchmarks.
  • Improving DMS data integration with PACS is essential for accurate radiation dose monitoring.
