Abstract:
Radiation dose optimization in radiology is a critical aspect of modern healthcare, aimed at balancing the necessity of diagnostic imaging with the imperative of patient safety. This comprehensive review explores the fundamental principles, techniques, and considerations in optimizing radiation dose to safeguard patients while preserving image fidelity. Beginning with acknowledging the inherent risks associated with medical radiation exposure, the review highlights strategies such as the As Low as Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principle, technological advancements, and quality assurance measures to minimize radiation dose without compromising diagnostic accuracy. Regulatory guidelines and the importance of patient education and informed consent are also discussed. Through a synthesis of current knowledge and emerging trends, the review underscores the pivotal role of radiation dose optimization in radiology practice. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for ongoing research and collaboration to advance dose reduction strategies, establish standards for radiation safety, and explore personalized dose optimization approaches. By prioritizing radiation dose optimization, healthcare providers can ensure the highest standards of patient care while minimizing potential risks associated with medical radiation exposure.
摘要:
放射学中的辐射剂量优化是现代医疗保健的关键方面,旨在平衡诊断成像的必要性与患者安全的必要性。这篇全面的综述探讨了基本原则,技术,以及优化辐射剂量以保护患者同时保持图像保真度的注意事项。从承认与医疗辐射暴露相关的固有风险开始,这篇综述强调了诸如低至合理可实现(ALARA)原则等战略,技术进步,和质量保证措施,以在不影响诊断准确性的情况下最大程度地减少辐射剂量。还讨论了监管指南以及患者教育和知情同意的重要性。通过对当前知识和新兴趋势的综合,该综述强调了辐射剂量优化在放射学实践中的关键作用。此外,它强调需要持续的研究和合作,以推进剂量减少策略,建立辐射安全标准,并探索个性化剂量优化方法。通过优先考虑辐射剂量优化,医疗保健提供者可以确保最高标准的患者护理,同时最大限度地减少与医疗辐射暴露相关的潜在风险。
