Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

526
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

412
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiology
  • Radiation Protection

Background:

  • Interventional neuroradiology procedures involve high radiation doses for patients and staff.
  • Accurate dose assessment is crucial for optimizing radiation safety in these procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To measure patient radiation doses (Dose-Area Product and Cumulative Air Kerma) during carotid and cerebral angiographies.
  • To assess staff radiation exposure, including eye lens, finger, and whole-body effective dose.
  • To determine radiation doses per procedure and per unit Dose-Area Product.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a Philips Azurion 7 M20 C-arm fluoroscopy system after quality control evaluations.
  • Measured patient doses using Dose-Area Product (DAP) and Cumulative Air Kerma (CAK) methods.
  • Assessed staff doses using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimeters at collar and waist levels to determine Hp(10), Hp(3), and Hp(0.07).

Main Results:

  • For cerebral procedures, mean patient DAP/CAK were 73/143 Gy cm²/657/1,888 mGy; effective doses were 4.04/8.16 mSv.
  • For carotid procedures, mean patient DAP/CAK were 40/79 Gy cm²/487/679 mGy; effective doses were 2.11/3.93 mSv.
  • Staff effective doses per examination: interventional radiologist 12.6 µSv, nurse 7.1 µSv, radiologic technologist 10.0 µSv. Lens doses: 18.7, 19.7, 13.4 µSv respectively. Extremity doses: 54.7, 15.3, 14.2 µSv respectively.

Conclusions:

  • Quantified patient and staff radiation doses for common interventional neuroradiology procedures.
  • Results provide essential data for enhancing radiation protection strategies and protocols in interventional suites.
  • The study highlights the importance of continuous monitoring and dose optimization in digital fluoroscopy.
