Energy associated with any radiation can be transferred to matter. This transfer of energy can remove electrons from the orbit of atoms

leading to the formation of ions

X-rays and gamma rays do not

differ except in the source. Gamma

rays are produced intranuclearly,

and x-rays are produced

extranuclearly (i.e., mechanically).

IONIZING RADIATION

Rajat Jain

Page 4: Radiology Notes for Students

Major Sources of ionizing radiation include Most nuclear processes (e.g., nuclear

fission, nuclear fusion, radioactive decay),

X-ray equipment, high-energy physics experiments, and Background radiation.

Rajat Jain

Page 5: Radiology Notes for Students

All human beings are constantly exposed to ionizing radiation.

Environmental sources include the cosmic radiation from space and radiation from the ground and from inhaled and ingested materials.

Airline travel and mining both increase exposure to the background radiation.

Radiation originating in the body comes mainly from radioactive potassium, which emits beta and gamma rays.

Cosmic exposure contributes 28 mrem per year. The ground and internal sources contribute 26 and 27 mrem

per year, respectively.

X-RAY TUBE

PARTS OF X RAY TUBE

1) Glass Envelope 2) Cathode Filament Supporting wires Focusing cup 3) Anode Stationary Rotating

Rajat Jain

Page 8: Radiology Notes for Students

Tube Housing - Made of cast steel - Contained in a glass envelope (Pyrex) - Concept of target window

Cathode - Made up of the filament (s) (Tungsten) and a focusing cup. - Addition of Thorium to the filament Anode - Target (Tungsten – rhenium alloy) - Tungsten has: High atomic number (74), thermal conductivity level & melting point

Rajat Jain

Page 9: Radiology Notes for Students

When kVp increases - X-ray penetration increases, exposure increases (darker film) and contrast goes down.

Maximum energy as well as number of x-rays increased.

Film contrast - primarily dependent on kV. Increasing mAs - increased film exposure

(more x-rays produced), which darkens the film.

Maximum energy of x-rays - NOT changed. Rajat Jain

At diagnostic energy levels, the rad, rem and roentgen

may all be considered equal , because the energy

deposited in soft tissues by 1 R of exposure is only 5%

more than a rad. i.e. 1 R= 1 rad= 1 rem. Rajat Jain

QUESTION True among the following?

“Figure of 8” heart: Infracardiac TAPVC

“Sitting-duck” heart: Tricuspid atresia

“Box-shaped” heart: Infracardiac TAPVC

“Globular” heart with plethoric lung fields: TGV

Page 116: Radiology Notes for Students

Rajat Jain

TGV

Page 117: Radiology Notes for Students

Rajat Jain

TGV Normally, aorta is anterior to & at the right of PA In TGA, PA is to the right of its normal location

and obscured by aorta on chest X-ray This malposition+stress-induced thymic atrophy

+hyperinflated lungs = apparent narrowing of the superior mediastinum (most consistent sign of TGA)

CV silhouette enlarged and globular – “egg on a string”

Pulmonary flow - increases with closure of the ductus arteriosus.

Explanation LA:

- Enlargement of the LA appendage

- “Splaying" of the carina

- Elevation of the LMB

- “Double density" projecting over the central portions of the heart

- Displacement of descending aorta to the left (Bedford sign)

- Always check left heart border for straightening.

M mode cardiac US M-mode (Motion-mode) US shows the motion

of cardiac structures.

High sampling frequency (up to 1000 pulses per second)

Yields a one-D image, sometimes called an 'ice pick' view of the heart.

MUGA Multiple gated acquisition scan is a method of

assessing EF. Also assesses LV wall motion & cardiac muscle

damage. Injecting RBCs, radiolabeled with Tc99, into the

patient's bloodstream & recording the emissions with a gamma camera.

Asses and follow cardiac function in patients on adriamycin.

Detects early changes in cardiac function that might easily be missed by other techniques, such as the echocardiogram.

Explanation Thallium Stress Testing

What is this?

When is thallium stress testing the answer?

When is it the wrong answer?

What is the alternative choice?

Page 130: Radiology Notes for Students

Rajat Jain

Thallium/Persantine Thallium Test Most accurate method of assessing myocardial

perfusion without an angiography.

Thallium-labeled RBCs are injected into the patient's blood-stream.

Provides a view of the blood flow into heart muscle.

Page 131: Radiology Notes for Students

Rajat Jain

Thallium Test Indications

- when resting EKG changes make exercise EKG difficult to interpret

- to localize the region of ischemia

- to assess revascularization following bypass or angioplasty.

- History of chest pain - not certain if it is ischemic in nature (equivocal cases).
