[Evaluation of the Distribution of Spatial Scattered Radiation Dose in Bedside Dynamic Chest Radiography].

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of spatial scattered radiation during mobile dynamic chest radiography and to develop protective measures.

Methods: We measured the spatial scattered radiation, assuming both mobile chest radiography and mobile dynamic chest radiography. We placed the chest phantom on a stretcher.

Analysis of Germline and Somatic Mutation in Patients With Developmental Odontogenic Cysts Using Targeted Gene Panel.

Background: Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a partial manifestation of Gorlin syndrome (GS), resulting from the abnormal activation of the hedgehog signaling pathway. OKC predominantly occurs in young adults and is mostly asymptomatic at the time of initial diagnosis. As OKC is asymptomatic, GS can be challenging to diagnose in certain instances.

Correction: Modulation of subjective peripheral sensation, F-waves, and somatosensory evoked potentials in response to unilateral pinch task measured on the contractile and non-contractile sides.

Introduction and evaluation of size-specific DLP for radiation dose estimation in CT examinations.

The increased utilization of computed tomography (CT) has raised concerns about patient radiation exposure. Effective dose (ED), which requires precise estimation, is crucial for assessing and managing these risks. Traditional ED estimation methods, which are based on the dose-length product (DLP), often lack accuracy due to variations in patient size and anatomy.

Comparison of radiation-shielding curtains for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography staff.

Occupational radiation exposure to the eye lens of medical staff during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) should be kept low so as not to exceed annual dose limits. Dose should be low to avoid tissue reactions and minimizing stochastic effects. It is known that the head and neck of the staff are exposed to more scattered radiation in an over-couch tube system than in a C-arm system (under-couch tube).
