Filter by:The purpose of this study is therefore to study the actual doses of X-rays delivered to the patient's skin during recanalization of a coronary artery in a context of Chronic Total Occlusion
Aging, renal pathology (eg SLE, ADPKD), X-ray exposition and pharmacological treatments, especially previous strong immunosuppression, may negatively influence the ovarian reserve in childbearing age women. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is regarded as biomarker for ovarian reserve. Every female with renal disease regularly menstruating that met exclusion criteria could have participated. The aim was to assess ovarian reserve in female patients with normal menstrual cycle and kidney disease, including kidney transplant recipients.
Background: In foreign countries, mobile x-ray already is being used where transfer to the radiology department at the hospital may be an obstacle. Using mobile x-ray, the x-ray examination is performed in the patients own home with transportable equipment that reminds of the transportable x-ray equipment that is being used in the intensive care units. At The Department of Radiology (DOR), Aarhus University Hospital there is an ongoing project mobile x-ray for patients living in nursing homes in Aarhus. The project will be evaluated inspired by the Triple Aim Approach in three sub studies. Overall aim: The overall aim is to conclude if mobile x-ray improves healthcare for fragile patients. Hypotheses: - Patients examined with mobile x-ray have fewer number of hospital admissions compared with patients examined with x-ray at DOR. - Patients examined with mobile x-ray are more satisfied with their examination compared with patients examined with x-ray at DOR. Sub study 1 - Population health Aim: The primary aim is to study if mobile x-ray improves the health of the defined population measured in hospital admission. Also to study challenges conducting a RCT. The outcome measures: The primary outcome is hospital admissions. Sub study 2 - Experience of care Aim: The aim is to study the satisfaction with mobile x-ray compared the satisfaction to x-ray at DOR. Methods: Observations, interview and questionnaires.
Radiation dose to interventional cardiologists performing transradial percutaneous coronary procedures is higher compared to those performing transfemoral exams. The radiation dose seems particularly high at pelvic level. We prepared an home-made protective extension of the leaded curtain under table that should reduce the operator exposure during interventional coronary procedures. The aim of the study is to evaluate the procedural efficacy of the protective extension on the operator radiation dose at pelvic level
This study will compare the quality of CT images acquired with very low-dose radiation and processed with commercially available software vs. PixelShine processed images. It would potentially allow imaging facilities to acquire CT scans using lower doses of radiation without sacrificing clarity of CT images. Acquiring high quality CT images with low-dose radiation has the potential to enhance patient safety and has significant implications in imaging practices.
examination of the importance of the use of X-ray in bariatric surgery outcome.
By the comparison of two operation methods navigated and non-navigated TKR with SPECT/CT we want to show wich method has the better outcome.
