Protection of Radiosensitive Organs with Diagnosable Image Maximizing Radiation Protection for Radiosensitive Organs during CT

Abstract

The primary objective of this investigation is to comprehensively evaluate potential strategies to mitigate the risk of radiation-induced ailments stemming from the excessive exposure of radiosensitive organs such as the eyes, thyroid, breast, and gonads during CT scans, without compromising diagnostic image quality. In the methodology, a thorough examination and synthesis of existing literature were conducted, encompassing various studies and their respective findings. By scrutinizing the results and conclusions of these studies, the aim was to identify optimal approaches for minimizing the risk of radiation-related diseases associated with the overexposure of radiosensitive organs. The culmination of this analysis revealed a range of methods tailored to protect specific radiosensitive organs. Notably, for safeguarding the eye lens, gantry tilting emerged as the most efficacious technique. However, circumstances may arise where gantry tilting is impractical; in such cases, the utilization of silicon rubber shielding combined with tube current modulation was deemed viable. Furthermore, for other radiosensitive organs, such as the thyroid, breast, and gonads, the implementation of tube current modulation, supplemented by ADMIRE 3, was identified as a significantly effective measure. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of adopting targeted strategies to mitigate radiation risks while preserving diagnostic image quality during CT scans. By leveraging techniques such as gantry tilting, silicon rubber shielding, and tube current modulation with ADMIRE 3, healthcare practitioners can enhance patient safety and minimize the likelihood of radiation- induced health complications. Additionally, ensuring the authenticity of these findings, plagiarism was rigorously checked to maintain the integrity of the research.
