2 Sissejuhatuseks

3 Teemad Ioniseerival kiirgusel põhinevad tänapäevased diagnostilised meetodid (modaliteedid) Meditsiinis kasutatava kiirguse panus kogu meie aastasesse kiirgusdoosi Meditsiinikiirituse mõõtmine ja optimeerimise vahendid diagnostilised referentsväärtused Efektiivdoos ja kiirgusriski hindamine

4 Ioniseeriv kiirgus tänapäeva meditsiinis Röntgenkiirgusega (kiirgusallikaks röntgentoru) tavaradiograafia mammograafia läbivalgustus, angiograafia kompuutertomograafia dentaalne radioloogia luudensitomeetria Gammakiirgusega (kiirgusallikaks patsiendisse viidud radioaktiivne aine) diagnostilise nukleaarmeditsiini meetodid (SPET, PET) Võrdluseks ioniseeriva kiirguseta diagnostilised meetodid: magnetresonantstomograafia ultraheliuuring

5 Kiirguskaitse eripärad meditsiinis Erinevus kutse- ja elanikukiiritusest - meditsiinikiiritusele puuduvad piirmäärad Vajadus minimeerida, kuid mitte nii väikeseks kui võimalik vaid, nii väikeseks, et pildi diagnostiline kvaliteet oleks siiski piisav vajalikud ka pildi kvaliteedi kriteeriumid Kas ja milliste näidustuste korral suunata mingile konkreetsele radioloogilisele uuringule referral guidelines Doosi optimeerimiseks referentsväärtused vaja mõõta praktikas kasutatavaid doose, et saata ettekujutus mingis protseduuris vajalikest doosidest leitakse dooside statistiline jaotus, sealt määratakse mingi suurus (enamasti mitte keskväärtus, vaid mediaan või kolmas kvartiil) Dosimeetria on osa radioloogia kvaliteeditagamise programmist ja jälgitav kliiniliste auditite kaudu Uuringu abilistele kehtestatakse doosipiirangud
