Marker bands serve a critical function in medical imaging and interventional procedures, offering Marker bands are essential for precise visualization during medical treatments. Designed for visibility under fluoroscopic imaging, these radiopaque bands, made from materials like platinum-iridium alloy, gold, and tantalum, play a critical role in healthcare applications. They enhance accuracy in ...
Tuberculosis (TB) is on the rise, and traditional technologies are not up to the task of containing this fast-spreading disease. But a fast, robust, and low-cost optical system is enabling point-of-care testing Driven by various social factors, a number of “old” diseases have recently reemerged to significantly threaten world health. Of particular concern is the increase in ...
This paper presents a computer code for the assessment of absorbed effective doses and dose equivalents in X-ray diagnostics. The absorbed doses in a patient's tissues in various X-ray examinations were estimated using the Monte Carlo method. The X-ray spectra generated by the empirical TASMIP model were verified. Further simulations were based on an anthropomorphic phantom of a standard adult. ...
The non-cancer disease mortality (1950-1995) among 27 011 medical diagnostic X-ray workers was compared to that of 25 782 other medical specialists employed between 1950 and 1980 to provide evidence of human non-cancer disease death produced by protracted and fractionated exposure to ionising radiation and assess the resultant non-cancer disease death risk. The total non-cancer disease mortality ...
