“…As demonstrated by the overlapping CIs (with the exception of permanent pacemaker insertions in R1 and R2), this study demonstrated no significant difference in contrast volume, fluoroscopy time, or the number of cine acquisitions between rooms with DRS (R2 and R3) and without (R1). Noting that the range of patient BMI was also similar across all rooms and procedures, this would indicate that equipment with DRS installed provided images of sufficient quality in the study center, which has been previously reported [ 22 – 24 ]. The average fluoroscopy time was significantly longer for permanent pacemaker procecedures performed in R1, which was determined to be due to the recent adoption of His bundle pacing in the department.…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of dose reducing software (ClarityIQ) on patient and staff dose during fluoroscopically guided cardiac procedures. Dose measurements were collected in a room without dose reducing software (n = 157) and compared with similar procedures performed in two rooms with the software (n = 1141). Procedures included diagnostic coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention, deployment of cardiac closure devices (for occlusion of atrial septal defect, patent foramen ovale, and atrial appendage) and insertion of permanent pacemakers. The dose reducing software was found to be effective in reducing patient and staff dose by approximately 50%. This study has added to the limited literature reporting on the capability of dose reducing software to decrease radiation exposure during the implantation of cardiac closure devices, as well as demonstrating a reduction in dose to the cardiologist and nursing staff. Administrators should ensure timely upgrades to angiographic equipment to safeguard patients and staff against the potentially adverse effects of radiation exposure. Regardless of the use of dose reducing software, the mean occupational dose during closure devices was in descending order scout > scrub > cardiologist. Scrub nurse dose was found to be higher than the cardiologist during closure devices (0.98/0.26 μSv) and diagnostic coronary angiograms (1.51/0.82 μSv). Nursing staff should be aware that their levels of radiation dose during some cardiac procedures may come close to or even exceed that of the cardiologist.

Medical imaging doing an indispensable part in the area of medicine. Noise in the image is maddening as it worsens the quality of image. Thus, removal of noise is perpetually a problematic work in the images of all domain. Alzheimer’s disease, a neurological dysfunction in which destruction of cells in brain creates mental weakening and memory loss. The distinguished reason for Alzheimer’s disease is low brain activity and low blood flow. We proposed a framework for removal of noise in Alzheimer disease image using histogram equalization, thresholding, open morphological operation and a wavelet transform. This framework reduces the noise and significantly better than the existing methods used for Alzheimer disease images.

“…Other radiation sparing features are low pulse-rate fluoroscopy options, low dose-per-frame, low frame rate options for image acquisition, spectral beam filtration and higher X-ray beam energy (48). Relatively new image noise reduction technology has half the amount of radiation dose compared to traditional fluoroscopy (49).…”

The trend towards more minimally invasive procedures in the past few decades has resulted in an exponential growth in fluoroscopy-guided catheter-based cardiology procedures. As these techniques are becoming more commonly used and developed, the adverse effects of radiation exposure to the patient, operator, and ancillary staff have been a subject of concern. Although occupational radiation dose limits are being monitored and seldom reached, exposure to chronic, low dose radiation has been shown to have harmful biological effects that are not readily apparent until years after. Given this, it is imperative that reducing radiation dose exposure in the cardiac catheterization laboratory remains a priority. Staff education and training, radiation dose monitoring, ensuring use of proper personal protective equipment, employment of shields, and various procedural techniques in minimizing radiation must always be diligently employed.Special care and consideration should be extended to pregnant women working in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. This review article presents a practical approach to radiation dose management and discusses best practice recommendations in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
