Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

77
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...

Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

4.0K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

This updated Medical Physics Practice Guideline provides minimum support levels for linear-accelerator-based stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) services. It ensures current, appropriate practice standards for these rapidly adopted radiation therapy techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) are increasingly adopted in clinical practice.
  • Existing guidelines require updates to reflect current standards of care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the minimum medical physics support necessary for linac-based SRS and SBRT.
  • To provide updated practice guidelines for SRS and SBRT services.

Main Methods:

  • This report is an update to a previous Medical Physics Practice Guideline (MPPG 9.a).
  • It builds upon prior work to establish current minimum practice standards.

Main Results:

  • The guideline details essential medical physics support for SRS and SBRT.
Keywords:
