It is important for radiologists to recognize and discuss with patients and families the potential risks and clinical manifestations of high Peak Skin Dose. In children undergoing complex Interventional procedures accurate Peak Skin Dose estimates are complicated and time consuming despite reference point doses being available. The availability of the Dose Structure Report (SR) on modern fluoroscopic equipment allows such estimates to be timely and consistent. The process of creating a Peak Skin Dose estimate using a validated radiation data management system (RDMS), capable of collecting detailed acquisition data and modeling will be discussed. Read More

Balancing PEEP settings in mechanically ventilated premature infants to maximize air exchange while minimizing barotrauma is typically evaluated using bronchography. A 4D dynamic airway computerized tomography protocol (4D CT) was developed as a less invasive method to evaluate large and small airways collapse at variable PEEP settings. Our purpose was to evaluate the radiation dose from 4D CT and to demonstrate the number of cycles impact on the radiation dose. Read More
