Radiation exposure during extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) was calculated using a "worst-case method" in 135 randomly selected patients. The patients were divided into four groups according to body weight: small (less than 140 pounds), medium (141-180 pounds), large (181-220 pounds), and very large (greater than 220 pounds). Average skin exposure was found to be 15.2 R (from 1.2 to 95.6 R). After implementation of a "radiation awareness program" radiation exposure was calculated in 128 cases (matched for body weight and stone burden) and average exposure was 9.5 R (from 0.9 to 33.4 R) with a reduction of 20, 37, 33, and 62 percent for each group, respectively. Radiation exposure reduction was primarily due to a reduction in the number of radiographic "snapshots" taken as a result of preferential use of special-mode fluoroscopic "stills."
采用“最坏情况法”对135例随机选取的患者进行体外冲击波碎石术(ESWL)期间的辐射暴露计算。根据体重将患者分为四组:小体重组(小于140磅)、中体重组(141 - 180磅)、大体重组(181 - 220磅)和超大体重组(大于220磅)。发现平均皮肤暴露量为15.2伦琴(范围为1.2至95.6伦琴)。实施“辐射意识计划”后,对128例(根据体重和结石负荷匹配)进行了辐射暴露计算,平均暴露量为9.5伦琴(范围为0.9至33.4伦琴),每组的暴露量分别降低了20%、37%、33%和62%。辐射暴露的降低主要是由于优先使用特殊模式荧光透视“静态图像”,从而减少了拍摄的射线照片“快照”数量。
