Abstract

Introduction: The radiation safety protocol is an effort made to create conditions so that the dose of ionizing radiation that affects humans and the environment does not exceed the specified limit value. This study aimed to measure exposure to X-ray radiation on panoramic X-rays at ATRO Muhammadiyah Makassar. Methods: This research was conducted at the radiology department of ATRO Muhammadiyah Makassar in December 2022. The tools and materials that will be used in this research are dental X-ray planes, survey meters, and perspex phantom, with a thickness of 10 mm, as a substitute for organs in humans. Measurement of the radiation dose exposure in dental X-ray examinations was carried out using an exposure factor of 70 kV, 8 mA at a distance of 1 meter, 2 meters, 3 meters, and 4 meters from various directions, namely front, left side, right side, and back with time. Different exposure on each object. Results: The highest dose intensity value was found at 0.25 seconds with a distance of 1 meter in the forward direction with a dosing accuracy of 138.4 (µSv/h). The lowest point is at 0.17 seconds with a distance of 3 meters behind with a dosing accuracy of 0.89 (µSv/h) for an officer who is in the radiation field during irradiation. Conclusion: The safe distance for a radiation officer and the general public who must be in the radiation field to assist patients during an examination is 4 meters from the radiation source.

Abstract

One of the goals of radiation protection is to prevent stochastic effects from occurring and to limit the chances of stochastic effects occurring to a limit value that is acceptable to society. This literature review aims to describe radiation protection standards for workers in hospital radiology. To prevent non-stochastic effects, a limit of 0.5 Sv (50 rem) in 1 year was used for all tissues except the lens of the eye. For eyepieces, the recommended annual limit is 0.15 Sv (15 rem). This limit value is used either for radiation reception by a single tissue or for radiation reception by multiple organs. To limit stochastic effects, the annual effective equivalent dose (HE) limit for whole-body radiation reception is 50 mSv (5 rem). The radiation protection equipment that must be available at a radio diagnostic facility is a lead apron, thyroid shield, gonad protectors, gloves, Pb goggles, and lead curtains. In conclusion, radiation protection equipment must be provided by radiology facility operators and used by radiation workers, especially radiologists and other competent doctors. Periodic inspection and standardized maintenance of radiation shields must be carried out for the sake of public safety.

Abstract

MRI is becoming the choice for performing high-resolution structural imaging in epilepsy. Selection of brain MRI sequences with appropriate clinical epilepsy is very important to show abnormalities clearly so that the diagnosis can be made. The epilepsy protocol includes T1 and T2 weights, as well as fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR). This literature review aims to describe the protocol for brain MRI examination in epilepsy patients. There is one special sequence that is used as a parameter for brain MRI examination in cases of epilepsy, namely fast spin-echo inversion recovery (FSE-IR), which is a modification of conventional inversion recovery and is used to suppress signals from certain tissues associated with T2 weighting. The coronal T2 propeller sequence is the sequence for showing pathology in the hippocampus. Coronal FSE-IR is useful for evaluating the hippocampus from the coronal side by eliminating the white signal to increase the contrast between white matter and gray matter. In conclusion, each sequence in the MRI examination protocol has a specific goal, namely to reveal pathology on the MRI slice and establish a diagnosis.

Abstract

Radiation exposure can occur due to a multitude of sources, such as environmental variables, occupational activities, medical treatments, inadvertent accidents, or deliberate actions. The purpose of this review was to provide a detailed analysis of the clinical aspects associated with radiation exposure resulting from injuries. Both non-ionizing and ionizing sources emit radiation. Nonionizing radiation pertains to radiation characterized by low energy levels, which might induce injuries associated with localized thermal harm. Nonionizing radiation encompasses several forms of electromagnetic radiation, such as microwaves, ultraviolet light, visible light, and radio waves. Ionizing radiation is distinguished by its elevated energy levels, which lead to numerous harmful effects on the human body. The main focus of the treatment is decontamination, relieving symptoms, providing supportive care, and offering psychosocial aid. Additionally, it also involves managing any coexisting diseases or injuries. Personalized supportive care is tailored based on the specific dosage, route of administration, and outcomes of exposure, as well as any concurrent conditions. In conclusion, the intensity of radiation damage is influenced by various factors such as the origin, kind, amount, duration, location, susceptibility of individuals, and the overall cumulative exposure.

Abstract

The epileptogenic zone is an area of the brain that is a source of uncontrolled epileptic activity. MRI can produce images of the brain with high spatial resolution, allowing detailed visualization of brain structure. This allows identification of pathological changes, such as lesions, hemorrhages, or vascular malformations, that may be a cause or indicator of an epileptogenic zone. MRI offers a variety of scanning techniques, including structural MRI (T1-weighted and T2-weighted), diffusion MRI, functional MRI (fMRI), and proton spectroscopy MRI. The literature search process was carried out on various databases (PubMed, Web of Sciences, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries, and Google Scholar) regarding the potential of MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) in detecting epileptogenic zones in the brain. This study follows the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) recommendations. MRI can produce images of the brain with high spatial resolution, allowing detailed identification of brain structures that may be associated with the epileptogenic zone. Lesions such as tumors, blood clots, or scar tissue that are the focus of epileptic activity can be clearly seen on MRI. Various MRI techniques, such as structural MRI, diffusion MRI, functional MRI, and proton spectroscopy MRI, can be used together to provide comprehensive information about the epileptogenic zone. MRI allows monitoring of brain structural changes over time, which is useful in determining the evolution of the epileptogenic zone. fMRI techniques help understand brain activity during epileptic attacks or as part of the epileptogenic zone.

Abstract

Gadolinium has revolutionized our ability to visualize the internal structure of the human body with greater detail and better contrast. The use of gadolinium as a contrast agent has opened the door to earlier detection and more accurate diagnosis of various medical conditions, such as tumors, inflammation, vascular disorders, and more. One of the main properties of gadolinium is its magnetic properties. It has a high magnetic moment, which produces intense signals in MRI. The literature search process was carried out on various databases (PubMed, Web of Sciences, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries, and Google Scholar) regarding the potential of gadolinium as a contrast agent in MRI applications. This study follows the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) recommendations. Gadolinium is an invaluable contrast agent in MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) that has various potential and important benefits in the world of medical radiology. Gadolinium's unique magnetic properties allow for increased contrast in MRI images, making it easier to identify and better understand structures in the body. Gadolinium is very effective in detecting lesions, pathological changes, such as tumors, swelling, inflammation, and vascular problems. This allows early and accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment planning, as well as monitoring disease progression. There are various types of gadolinium contrast agents that can be tailored to the needs of certain MRI examinations, such as gadopentetate dimeglumine, gadobutrol, gadodiamide, and others. Gadolinium is generally considered a safe and relatively non-toxic contrast agent. However, it is necessary to pay attention to very rare allergic reactions and the risk of accumulation in patients with impaired kidney function.

Abstract

Proton density fat fraction MRI is a special MRI method used to evaluate liver disorders, especially in terms of assessing fat accumulation in the liver. PDFF MRI is based on the principle of magnetic resonance of hydrogen nuclei in the human body. Our bodies contain many hydrogen atoms, mainly in the form of water and fat. These hydrogen atoms will give different signals in response to magnetic fields and radiofrequency waves. Liver disorders, such as steatosis or fatty liver, are characterized by the accumulation of fat in liver cells. The literature search process was carried out on various databases (PubMed, Web of Sciences, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries, and Google Scholar) regarding the Potential of MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) proton density fat fraction for the assessment of liver disorders. This study follows the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) recommendations. Proton Density Fat Fraction (PDFF) MRI is a medical imaging technique that focuses on the magnetic resonance of hydrogen nuclei in the human body. This is a very effective method in the assessment of liver disorders related to fat accumulation, such as steatosis or fatty liver. PDFF MRI has very high accuracy in measuring the amount of fat in the liver, even in small amounts, thus providing very precise information about the level of fat accumulation.
