Radiation Quantities and Units

Har!ett3 — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 14:05:00 +0000

In Radiology we use some jargons, wherein these terms are only familiar to us, the Radiologic Technologists, Medical Physicists, Radiologists and other related fields. We also use special terms in Radiation Quantities and Qualities or units, which are discusses below:

Absorbed dose is the energy absorbed per unit mass at a given point. The unit is the joule per kilogram (J kg-1) and is given the special name gray (Gy). A more detailed description is given in ICRU Report 74 and in IAEA TECDOC-457.

Organ dose is a quantity defined in ICRP Publication 60 in relation to the probability of stochastic effects (mainly cancer induction) as the absorbed dose averaged over an organ, i.e., the quotient of the total energy imparted to the organ and the total mass of the organ. The unit is the joule per kilogram and is given the special name gray (Gy).

Equivalent dose to an organ or tissue is the organ dose corrected by a radiation weighting factor that takes account of the relative biological effectiveness of the incident radiation in producing stochastic effects. This correction factor is numerically 1 for X rays. The unit is the joule per kilogram (J kg-1) and is given the special name sievert (Sv).

Effective dose is a quantity defined in ICRP Publication 60 as a weighted sum of equivalent doses to all relevant tissues and organ with the purpose “to indicate the combination of different doses to several different tissues in a way that is likely to correlate well with the total of the stochastic effects”. This is, therefore, applicable even if the absorbed dose distribution over the human body is not homogeneous. The unit is the joule per kilogram (J kg-1) and is given the special name sievert (Sv).

The use of effective dose for patients has to be done with caution, as indicated in the UNSCEAR 2000 report to the UN, “effective dose should not be used directly for estimating detriment from medical exposure … by application of the nominal fatality probability coefficients. Such assessments would be inappropriate and serve no purpose in view of the uncertainties arising from potential demographic differences (in terms of health status, age and sex), between particular population of patients and those from general populations for whom ICRP derived the risk coefficients … effective dose could broadly underestimate the detriment from diagnostic exposures of young patients by a factor of 2 and, conversely, could overestimate the detriment from old patients by a factor of at least 5. … Notwithstanding the above caveat … practice in diagnostic radiology is summarized for comparative purpose, principally in terms of effective dose to the exposed individuals … taking into account the number of procedures, collective effective dose over exposed populations ….”

It is possible, therefore, to use effective dose and even collective dose for medical diagnostic exposure as long as this is done only for comparative purposes and for the same or similar patient populations, and it would require additional considerations or significant corrections if we try to use them to compare with other populations.

Air kerma in air is the sum of kinetic energy of all charged particles liberated per unit mass. A number of publications in the past have expressed measurements in terms of absorbed dose to air. Recent publications and a soon-to-be-published IAEA Code of Practice point out the experimental difficulty in determining the dose to air, especially in the vicinity of an interface, and that, in reality, what the dosimetry equipment registers is not the energy absorbed from the radiation by the air, but the energy transferred by the radiation to the charged particles resulting from the ionization. For these reasons the IAEA Code of Practice and ICRU Report 74 recommend the use of air kerma rather than absorbed dose to air. The unit is the joule per kilogram (J kg-1) and is given the special name gray (Gy)

This correction applies to the quantities determined in air, such as entrance surface air kerma (rather than entrance surface air dose), computed tomography air kerma index (instead of computed tomography dose index), kerma area product (rather than dose area product) and air kerma area length (rather than dose length product).

The above recommendation refers to air. When referring to tissues, it is also correct to estimate absorbed dose to the skin, by applying the necessary correction coefficient to obtain the absorbed dose to the tissue from the air kerma.

Download PART 5th Midyear Convention Lectures

Har!ett3 — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 17:04:06 +0000

At last, the 5th PART Midyear Convention (held at Bacolod City last Jul 1 and 2, 2010) is finally over. After months of meetings and plannings, we can say that somehow, the our efforts have spawned into a more productive “outcome”, despite all the hardships and “issues” that we have endured.

Anyway, below are links for you to click so that you can download the full power point presentation of lectures given by this year’s convention speakers:

Radiation Protection

Note: If you’re having a hard time downloading the files, don’t hesitate to send me a message or leave a comment so that I can help you make things easy.

Thanks for coming here in Bacolod! (though I’m originally from Iloilo and I just happen to work here…lol)

Radioactive Materials Adverse Reactions Table

Har!ett3 — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 02:22:26 +0000

Long before, people have been concerned about the negative effects of radiation and radioactive materials on the health of human body, especially when they undergo certain medical procedures that use radiopharmaceuticals.

Below is a a table listing the adverse reactions to radiopharmaceuticals:

Americans get most radiation from medical scans

Har!ett3 — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 19:05:46 +0000

Almost everyday, a new form of disease is sprouting and in order for this type of disease to be diagnosed at an early stage, health professionals are devising new ways to detect this problems as early as they can so as to prevent the spread of the disease that might pose serious problems later.

One of the most popular way to detect these various types of diseases are the medical scans. But according to MARILYNN MARCHIONE, a medical writer, on her article at Yahoo! News, Americans get most radiation from medical scans.

Here’s an excerpt from her article:

Americans get the most medical radiation in the world, even more than folks in other rich countries. The U.S. accounts for half of the most advanced procedures that use radiation, and the average American’s dose has grown sixfold over the last couple of decades.

Too much radiation raises the risk of cancer. That risk is growing because people in everyday situations are getting imaging tests far too often. Like the New Hampshire teen who was about to get a CT scan to check for kidney stones until a radiologist, Dr. Steven Birnbaum, discovered he’d already had 14 of these powerful X-rays for previous episodes. Adding up the total dose, “I was horrified” at the cancer risk it posed, Birnbaum said.

Radiation is a hidden danger — you don’t feel it when you get it, and any damage usually doesn’t show up for years. Taken individually, tests that use radiation pose little risk. Over time, though, the dose accumulates.

Doctors don’t keep track of radiation given their patients — they order a test, not a dose. Except for mammograms, there are no federal rules on radiation dose. Children and young women, who are most vulnerable to radiation harm, sometimes get too much at busy imaging centers that don’t adjust doses for each patient’s size.

That may soon change. In interviews with The Associated Press, U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials described steps in the works, including possibly requiring device makers to print the radiation dose on each X-ray or other image so patients and doctors can see how much was given.

The FDA also is pushing industry and doctors to set standard doses for common tests such as CT scans.

“We are considering requirements and guidelines for record-keeping of dose and other technical parameters of the imaging exam,” said Sean Boyd, chief of the FDA’s diagnostic devices branch.

A near-term goal: developing a “radiation medical record” to track dose from cradle to grave.

“One of the ways we could improve care is if we had a running sort of Geiger counter” that a doctor checked before ordering a test, said Dr. Prashant Kaul of Duke University.

Considering A Plastic Surgery?

Har!ett3 — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 19:26:33 +0000

Recently, undergoing a plastic surgery is common and even people coming from middle class can afford it, unlike before, where it will cost a person much in order to undergo even a simple operation like a tummy tuck or breast augmentation.

In Los Angeles tummy tuck, which is commonly known as Abdominoplasty, patients can be rest assured that the surgery will be done by a qualified surgery and that he or she is well-trained on a certain plastic surgery procedure, just like performing breast augmentation in Los Angeles.

Southern California plastic surgery becomes more and more popular and safe at the same time, not to mention the fact that the services or the operation is of reasonable prices plus surgeons, who performs these plastic surgery operations are well-trained and highly qualified.

Radioactive Cadmium Found In Shrek Glass?

Har!ett3 — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 17:22:13 +0000

Today, a recall of Shrek Glass, a McDonalds Promotional Toy has been ordered a recall due to trace of cadmium found on the design of the glass; but what really is a Cadmium?

According to wikipedia,

Cadmium is a soft, malleable, ductile, bluish-white bivalent metal. It is similar in many respects to zinc but forms more complex compounds.
Naturally occurring cadmium is composed of 8 isotopes. For two of them, natural radioactivity was observed, and three others are predicted to be radioactive but their decay is not observed, due to extremely long half-life times. The two natural radioactive isotopes are 113Cd (beta decay, half-life is 7.7 × 1015 years) and 116Cd (two-neutrino double beta decay, half-life is 2.9 × 1019 years).
Cadmium and several cadmium-containing compounds are known carcinogens and can induce many types of cancer.

Research has found that cadmium toxicity may be carried into the body by zinc binding proteins; in particular, proteins that contain zinc finger protein structures. Zinc and cadmium are in the same group on the periodic table, contain the same common oxidation state (+2), and when ionized are almost the same size. Due to these similarities, cadmium can replace zinc in many biological systems, in particular, systems that contain softer ligands such as sulfur. Cadmium can bind up to ten times more strongly than zinc in certain biological systems, and is notoriously difficult to remove. In addition, cadmium can replace magnesium and calcium in certain biological systems, although these replacements are rare.

Tobacco smoking is the most important single source of cadmium exposure in the general population. It has been estimated that about 10% of the cadmium content of a cigarette is inhaled through smoking. The absorption of cadmium from the lungs is much more effective than that from the gut, and as much as 50% of the cadmium inhaled via cigarette smoke may be absorbed.

On average, smokers have 4-5 times higher blood cadmium concentrations and 2-3 times higher kidney cadmium concentrations than non-smokers. Despite the high cadmium content in cigarette smoke, there seems to be little exposure to cadmium from passive smoking. No significant effect on blood cadmium concentrations could be detected in children exposed to environmental tobacco smoke.

X-ray Image of Patient with Legionnaire’s Disease

Har!ett3 — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 11:39:33 +0000

Legionnaire’s disease is an acute respiratory infection caused by Legionella bacteria. You can watch the video embedded below for more details about Legionnaire’s disease.

Some of the major causes of this disease are: water delivery systems, warm, moist, air conditioning systems of large buildings, including hospitals. Most cases are caused by Legionella pneumophila. The rest of the cases are caused by other Legionella species.

Risk factors include:
Alcoholism
Cigarette smoking
Diseases such as kidney failure or diabetes
Diseases that weaken the immune system, including cancer
Long-term (chronic) lung disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Long-term use of a breathing machine (ventilator)
Medicines that suppress the immune system, including chemotherapy and steroid medications
Older age
Symptoms

Symptoms tend to get worse during the first 4 – 6 days. They typically improve in another 4 – 5 days.

Symptoms may include:
Chest pain
Coughing up blood
Fever
Gastrointestinal symptoms, such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain
General discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling (malaise)
Headache
Joint pain
Lack of coordination (ataxia)
Loss of energy
Muscle aches and stiffness
Nonproductive cough
Shaking chills
Shortness of breath
