JANUARY 18, 2024

A team of researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital has developed an age-specific dose catalog for estimating radiation exposure to children from diagnostic and interventional radiology fluoroscopy procedures. They analyzed metrics to estimate age-specific effective dose per IR procedure type and diagnostic fluoroscopy exam.

Based on discussions with our interventional radiology colleagues, dislodged PCNs or severe encrustation may result in much longer and more complex procedures, including the potential need for entirely new access into the collecting system, thereby resulting in higher fluoroscopy use,” Lyon and colleagues wrote.

As far as PG is concerned, the most common practice is to teach Diagnostic radiology. You will find intervention radiology in a handful of places. It is crucial to regularly observe various reports like MRI, CT scan, X-Ray, Doppler, Fluoroscopy etc. To be adept on this front is a whole other ball game.

Role of Imaging In Epidural Injections In the 1980s, radiologists began using fluoroscopy to assist with needle placement. Today, CT or fluoroscopy technology helps guide the needle to the precise injection site. Studies have shown that blind injections may be inaccurate 25 to nearly 40 percent of the time.
