Valores típicos do "produto dose-área" (DAP) obtidos durante o estudo videofluoroscópico da deglutição

Abstract: Analisamos o produto dose-área ("dose area product" - DAP) de 12 pacientes submetidos a videofluoroscopia da deglutição. O objetivo foi estimar a exposição à radiação produzida neste tipo de estudo. Utilizamos medidor de DAP (PTW-Diamentor), que registra, de modo cumulativo, as doses de radiação que atingem o examinado durante todo o procedimento. Obtivemos nossos dados em duas salas dotadas com equipamentos da mesma marca e modelo. O protocolo, rigorosamente o mesmo, foi efetuado por um único e experiente pro… Show more

“…Imaging methods such as chest radiography have been routinely performed in hospitals and, considering the high incidence of normal results (70% (1) to esophageal transit (9)(10)(11) . However, these methods involve either a higher or lower degree of radiation exposure to the patients, despite routine implementation of quality control and guarantee systems (12) .…”

“…The accommodation of children on the accessory chair proved to be effective, and the mobility of the system, simulating several incidences, proved to be extremely an image intensifier, resulted in a significant reduction in the radiation exposure, both for the patient and the radiologist. The image analysis that previously required high radiation doses and slow adaptation to a totally dark room, has been replaced by the analysis on a monitor screen in a normally lit room, with much lower doses than those previously required (26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31) .…”
