Avaliação da dose em pacientes pediátricos submetidos a exame de tomografia computadorizada

Porto, Lorena Elaine 11 December 2014 (has links)
CAPES / A dosimetria em tomografia computadorizada (TC) envolve desde a determinação de grandezas dosimétricas específicas de TC até a estimativa de dose absorvida e dose efetiva. Entretanto, deve-se considerar que por envolver radiação ionizante no seu processo, este procedimento apresenta riscos inerentes e sua utilização deve ponderar o custo e o benefício propiciado pelo procedimento. A proteção de pacientes submetidos a exames radiológicos, de uma maneira geral, é determinada pelos princípios da “justificação” e “otimização”. Desta forma, torna-se importante o conhecimento dos níveis de radiação nas exposições durante um procedimento tomográfico. Estes níveis foram observados através da estimativa das grandezas específicas para tomografia computadorizada, tais como o Índice de kerma no ar (C100,ar), o Índice de kerma ponderada (Cw) e o produto kerma comprimento (PKL,CT), e em estimados os níveis de dose efetiva e risco para o estudo tomográfico computadorizado de crânio, tórax e abdômen realizado com múltipla varredura. Os valores obtidos foram comparados com os obtidos por simulação computacional por Monte Carlo. Eles foram utilizados, neste estudo, no cálculo da Dose Efetiva e risco e para comparação com o nível de referência de dose estabelecido pela Comunidade Européia. Utilizando-se o programa de simulação computacional Dosecal X_CT e o protocolo ICRP 103, foram determinadas as grandezas de radioproteção relevantes para o estudo que são os valores de dose efetiva referente ao procedimento. O nível do Produto kerma comprimento (PKL,CT), utilizando-se o C100,ar previamente estabelecido, foi também obtido e comparado com o nível de referência de dose estabelecido pela comunidade europeia. Os valores encontrados até agora estão dentro dos limites dos Níveis de Referência. / The computed tomography (CT) dosimetry involves measurements of specific quantities of CT, which are part of CT quality control procedures, as well as calculation of absorbed and effective doses to a patient submitted to CT examinations. Since CT uses ionizing radiation, it should be considered that a precise balance between risks and benefits must be achieved in order to justify the adoption of such technique. Radiation protection of patients undergoing radiological exams is established based on the justification and optimization principles. Nowadays, it is important to know the dose radiation levels to which a patient is exposed during a tomographic procedure. Those are given by the estimation of specific dosimetric quantities called the computed tomography kerma index in air, C100,air, the weighted computed tomography kerma index Cw, kerma length product, PKL,CT and then the levels of effective dose and risk to the computerized CT scan study of skull, thorax and abdomen with a multiple scanning. The values obtained were compared with those obtained by computer simulation using Monte Carlo method. The protection quantities organ absorbed dose, effective dose and risk for comparison with the reference dose level established by the European Community. Using computational simulation program of the Dosecal X_CT and the ICRP 103 Protocol, were certain quantities of radiation protection relevant to study which are the values of effective dose for the procedure. The dose length product PKL,CT level was calculated from the C100,air and compared to the reference dose level established by the European Community. The values found so far are within the limits of the reference levels.

Context-aware radiation protection for the hybrid operating room / Méthodes de radioprotection réactives au contexte pour la salle d’opération hybride

Loy Rodas, Nicolas 19 February 2018 (has links)
L’utilisation de systèmes d’imagerie à rayons X lors de chirurgies mini-invasives expose patients et staff médical à des radiations ionisantes. Même si les doses absorbées peuvent être faibles, l’exposition chronique peut causer des effets nocifs (e.g. cancer). Dans cette thèse, nous proposons des nouvelles méthodes pour améliorer la sécurité vis-à-vis des radiations ionisantes en salle opératoire hybride dans deux directions complémentaires. Premièrement, nous présentons des approches pour rendre les cliniciens plus conscients des irradiations grâce à des visualisations par réalité augmentée. Deuxièmement, nous proposons une méthode d'optimisation pour suggérer une pose de l’imageur réduisant la dose au personnel et patient, tout en conservant la qualité de l’image. Pour rendre ces applications possibles, des nouvelles approches pour la perception de la salle grâce à des caméras RGBD et pour la simulation en temps-réel de la propagation et doses de radiation ont aussi été proposées. / The use of X-ray imaging technologies during minimally-invasive procedures exposes both patients and medical staff to ionizing radiation. Even if the dose absorbed during a single procedure can be low, long-term exposure can lead to noxious effects (e.g. cancer). In this thesis, we therefore propose methods to improve the overall radiation safety in the hybrid operating room by acting in two complementary directions. First, we propose approaches to make clinicians more aware of exposure by providing in-situ visual feedback of the ongoing radiation dose by means of augmented reality. Second, we propose to act on the X-ray device positioning with an optimization approach for recommending an angulation reducing the dose deposited to both patient and staff, while maintaining the clinical quality of the outcome image. Both applications rely on approaches proposed to perceive the room using RGBD cameras and to simulate in real-time the propagation of radiation and the deposited dose.

Application of probabilistic methods for ionizing radiation dose assessment / Tikimybinių metodų taikymas apšvitos jonizuojančiąja spinduliuote dozių vertinimui

Prokopčiuk, Nina 01 December 2011 (has links)
The aim of this doctoral dissertation is to assess the probable impact of ionizing radiation on the public health and the environment (including fauna and flora) in the vicinity of nuclear power engineering objects (in case of the Maišiagala near-surface radioactive waste repository – by evaluating the possible impact on the human health, while in case of the Ignalina NPP cooling basin, Lake Drūkšiai – by evaluating the possible impact on the freshwater ecosystem biota) by applying probabilistic methods as well as to determine whether this activity after assessment of its character and impact on the environment meets the standards valid in the Republic of Lithuania or in the European Union and is permissible at a selected site at present or in the future. In the work two main programs, RESRAD-OFFSITE and ERICA, using scattering of site-specific parameter values and probabilistic (correlation, regressive, sensitivity, etc.) analysis, have been applied. It has been determined that in the environment of the Maišiagala repository after installation of additional protective barriers the annual effective human exposure dose is significantly lower as compared to the limited dose and 95th percentile dose not exceed the exposure of 1 mSv per year regulated in the hygiene standards. The exposure dose rate of standardized organisms of Lake Drūkšiai, the Ignalina NPP cooler, freshwater ecosystem biota due to the INPP discharges and waterway radionuclide migration from a hypothetic...
