Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely recognized that the risks associated to both patients and medical personnel during therapeutic interventional procedures are greater than for other diagnostic studies due to the increased number, and complexity of the examinations resulting in increased radiation exposure. This report documents the practices of seven interventional radiologists at a large teaching facility over a three year period (2005 - 2007) and describes the processes implemented to optimize radiation safety in the department. The importance of oversight of the radiation safety program is reflected as the physicians' demonstrated significant improvement in wearing their dosimetry badges, and overall patient exposure time was reduced. The data collected is valuable as occupational exposure documentation for this high risk group is limited as there are no national reporting requirements. Collection of exposure data during the clinical setting is important to assess potential long term effects to physicians performing these types of procedures. The technical factors unique to the fluoroscopic system, biological effects and regulations will also be discussed as they relate to radiation exposure. The objectives of this undertaking were to: assess the clinical safety practices of these physicians, acquire representative exposure data for this high risk group, enforce compliance with the State regulations, and to implement an effective, ongoing radiation safety program. Implementing safe radiation practices is not a static issue, and requires ongoing oversight of physician training, compliance, and operating procedures which should be viewed as the standard of care.

Download or read book IR Playbook written by Nicole A. Keefe and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fully updated new edition is a comprehensive guide to interventional radiology (IR) for medical students, residents, early career attendings, nurse practitioners and physician assistants. The IR Playbook includes procedures, new and updated data, and new images, to stay on the cutting edge of IR. As a specialty, IR is constantly changing and evolving to apply newer technologies and techniques to a breadth of disease pathologies. This book addresses the growing need for a reference for trainees and early career professionals to gain a solid foundation. Let this book serve as your only resource from the first day you find out about IR to the day you take your certifying exam. One and done. The textbook is divided into two main sections, with many images and key point boxes throughout that offer high-yield pearls along with the specific How To's necessary for practice. The first section is designed to give readers an introduction to IR, including radiation safety, commonly used devices, patient care, and anatomy. The second portion is divided by procedure. These chapters cover pathophysiology, indications for treatment, as well as alternative treatments before delving into interventional therapy. This new edition has been fully updated throughout including several brand-new procedures and divided chapters to allow a more in depth look at several disease pathologies. IR Playbook gives medical students, residents, and trainees a full perspective of interventional radiology.

This book was released on 2013-05-14 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interventional radiology is an indispensable and still expanding area of modern medicine that encompasses numerous diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The revised and extended second edition of this volume covers a broad range of non-vascular interventions guided by CT or MR imaging. Indications, materials, techniques, and results are all carefully discussed. A particularly comprehensive section is devoted to interventional oncology as the most rapidly growing branch of interventional radiology. In addition, detailed information is provided that will assist in establishing and developing an interventional service. This richly illustrated book will be a most valuable source of information and guidance for all radiologists who deal with non-vascular procedures.
