Radiation protection of patients in medical exposures: regional project IAEA 2007-2008 RLA/9/57;Proteccion radiologica de pacientes en exposiciones medicas: proyecto regional IAEA 2007-2008 RLA/9/57

Abstract

The radiation protection of patients in medical exposures as a project is composed of 5 regional covers some 80 countries, 94 hospitals and 120 activities related to radiology and radiation. A workshop was developed with the following objectives: to provide theoretical and practical elements for professionals in radiation protection of patients developing tasks assigned, to identify the methodology by measurement through sheets for data collection and interpretation of the same, to perform practical exercises of the procedures to apply in radiology, mammography, computed tomography and interventionism. The workshop was divided into theoretical and practical sections, sections for analysis and interpretation of data and a final exam. This project aims to identify strengths and weaknesses, simple primary objectives with fast results, involvement of doctors, institutional commitment to see results after more complex stages, technique stiffness, sustainability. Among the goals of the member states are: To prevent radioinjury in interventional procedures and reduce the probability of stochastic effect, especially in pediatrics; dose reduction changing of rare earth in countries that have not yet made, optimization in mammography, optimization of protection in CT, with emphasis in pediatrics; protection of family and the public to give discharge the patient, after therapy with radiopharmaceuticals; to  More>>

The content is divided into four parts which include different forms to collect information constituted on the following topics: Intervention, with information over Uncertainties in calibration of the meter P{sub K}A, Evaluation of dose with radiochromatic movie, Data processing and radiation protection, Measurements of kerma-area product, Practice: Exposure assessment of the patient in interventional radiology, Determination of the Hemi reducer layer, Recalibration and use of a meter of Kerma-area product (Pk, a); Mammography theme contains: Application and criteria for image quality: a study of the mammography - skull flow, Sheet for data collection in patients CC and MLO, Sheet for data collection in mammography practices, include equipment description, determination of yields, Hemi reducer thickness, determination of {sup c,} data from the patient and glandular dose; Tomography theme contains: General data about computed tomography services in the Hospital Max Peralta which include report of tests and dosimetry in phantom, in air, information from used scanners; Radiology theme contains: Dosimetry of patients in general radiology where shows forms for determining the performance of x-ray tube; Minimum values, maximum and Kerma in air average in surface of entry for PA Chest radiographs; Measures to generate the yield curve; Patient data, the technical parameters and image quality; Forms by country; Kerma in air at the entrance to the PA Chest skin, the dosimetry in general radiology is included with practices and methodology for the measurement and evaluation, also shows forms with protocols for measurements with TLDS;La proteccion radiologica de pacientes en exposiciones medicas como proyecto esta integrado por 5 regionales que abarcan unos 80 paises, 94 hospitales y 120 actividades relacionadas con radiologia y radiacion. Un taller fue desarrollado con los siguientes objetivos: proporcionar los elementos teoricos y practicos para que los profesionales en proteccion radiologica de pacientes desarrollen tareas encomendadas, identificar la metodologia de medicion mediante hojas para la captura de datos e interpretacion de los mismos, realizar ejercicios practicos de los procedimientos a aplicar en radiologia, mamografia, tomografia computarizada e intervencionismo. Dicho taller se dividio en secciones teoricas y practicas, secciones de analisis e interpretacion de datos y un examen final. Este proyecto pretende identificar fortalezas y debilidades, objetivos primarios simples con resultados rapidos, involucramiento de los medicos, compromiso institucional al ver resultados posteriores a etapas mas complejas, rigidez tecnica, sostenibilidad. Entre las metas de los estados miembros estan: evitar radiolesiones en procedimientos intervencionistas y reducir la probabilidad de efectos estocasticos, especialmente en pediatria; reduccion de dosis cambiando a tierras raras en paises que aun no lo han hecho, optimizacion en mamografia, optimizacion de la proteccion en TAC, con enfasis en pediatria; proteccion de familiares y del publico al dar de alta al paciente, despues de una terapia con radiofarmacos; evitar exposiciones accidentales en radioterapia y radiologia pediatrica.
