The linear-quadratic formula and progress in fractionated radiotherapyBritish Journal of Radiology - Tập 62 Số 740 - Trang 679-694 - 1989
J. F. Fowler
Clinical gains have been reported from the use of nonstandard fractionation schedules planned with a radiobiological basis. Hyperfractionation provides the leading example, as described below, with accelerated fractionation being developed more recently. Although examples of almost every kind of fractionated schedule can be found in the literature over the past 90 years, it is only within ...... hiện toàn bộ
Fetal doses from radiological examinations.British Journal of Radiology - Tập 72 Số 860 - Trang 773-780 - 1999
Ernest Osei, K. Faulkner
There has been growing concern about radiation exposures in the case of pregnant women who undergo radiological examinations of the lower abdomen and pelvis, when the embryo/fetus is near or included in the X-ray field. This paper describes a retrospective study of 50 pregnant women accrued over a period of 10 years. Most of these women were not aware of pregnancy at the time of their radi...... hiện toàn bộ
Pregnancy after uterine artery embolization to control haemorrhage from gestational trophoblastic tumourBritish Journal of Radiology - Tập 69 Số 823 - Trang 624-629 - 1996
J. McIvor, Evan Wm. Cameron
Abstract
Gestational trophoblastic tumour (GTT) of the uterus can cause severe and even life threatening haemorrhage in patients who may be contemplating future pregnancy. Three cases of successful pregnancy after uterine artery embolization to control severe haemorrhage from uterine GTT are reported. Both uterine arteries had been selectively cathet...... hiện toàn bộ
A survey of the radiation exposures received by the staff at two cardiac catheterization laboratoriesBritish Journal of Radiology - Tập 63 Số 755 - Trang 885-888 - 1990
Brian J. McParland, Josip Nosil, Brian Burry
Staff working in cardiac catheterization laboratories receive radiation exposures from primary radiation (if any part of their body is placed within the X-ray beam) or from secondary radiation due to scatter from the patient and image intensifier and to leakage from the X-ray tube. As a result, the radiation exposure distribution over a staff member's body is expected to be non-uniform. In...... hiện toàn bộ
Renal neoplasms in a familyBritish Journal of Radiology - Tập 62 Số 733 - Trang 83-84 - 1989
Valérie Laurence, Anthony C. Robinson
Malignant tumours of the kidney are uncommon, renal cell carcinoma, the adult variety, accounting for 2% of all adult malignancies, whilst nephroblastoma, an enbryonic tumour of childhood, affects one per 200 000 children per year under the age of 15 years and constitutes 7% of childhood neoplasms (Bullimore & Mott, 1982). Both of these tumours occur in sporadic and hereditary forms. W...... hiện toàn bộ
