ABSTRACT

This study presented a model applied for potential risk assessment in an interventional radiology setting. The model of potential risk assessment (MARP) consisted of the creation of a scale of indicators ranging from 0 to 5. The radiation levels were categorized according to gender, kind of procedure, value of kerma air product (Pka), and accumulated radiation dose (mGy). The MARP model was applied in 121 institutions over 8 y. A total of 201 656 patient radiation doses (Dose-area product and accumulated kerma) data were launched into the system over time, with an average of 22 406 doses per year. In the context of the workers (cardiologists, radiographers, and nurses) monitored during the MARP application, 8007 cases (with an average of 890 per year) of occupational radiation doses were recorded. This study showed a strategy for quality evaluation in fluoroscopy using a model with a compulsory information system for monitoring safety.

ABSTRACT

The study aimed to develop a Quantitative Health Inspection Instrument (IQIS) large-sized Brazilian food and nutrition services. The inspection technology based on the Potential Risk Assessment Model (MARP) and the Brazilian Health Legislation was used. Twelve dimensions, 41 modules, and 57 risk control (critical/non-critical) indicators were structured on a scale of 0-5, totalling 1,512 indices with closed-ended response coding. The IQIS was validated with the Kappa Coefficient, with excellent agreement for the attributes of clarity and relevance (k = 0.82 and k = 0.92) and good agreement for applicability (k = 0.78). The Kruskal-Wallis test showed no statistically significant difference between the assessments (p = 0.423), the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient was satisfactory (ICC = 0.53), and Cronbach's Alpha (α = 0.71) was acceptable. The final result made it possible to classify the service as having an unacceptable health risk. IQIS is considered to have validated content, be reliable and reproducible to assess the hygienic-sanitary conditions, being a technological innovation for food and nutrition services and sanitary, allowing a detailed and rigorous inspection.


O estudo visou desenvolver um Instrumento Quantitativo para Inspeção Sanitária (IQIS) em serviços de alimentação e nutrição de grande porte no Brasil. Utilizou-se a tecnologia de inspeção, no Modelo de Avaliação do Risco Potencial (MARP) e legislação sanitária brasileira. Estruturaram-se 12 dimensões, 41 módulos, 57 indicadores de controle de riscos (críticos/não críticos), numa escala de 0-5, totalizando 1.512 índices com codificação de respostas fechadas. O IQIS foi validado com o Coeficiente de Kappa, com excelente concordância para atributos de clareza e relevância (k = 0,82 e k = 0,92) e boa concordância para o atributo aplicabilidade (k = 0,78). O teste de Kruskal-Wallis mostrou inexistir diferença significativa entre as avaliações (p = 0,423), o Coeficiente de Correlação Intraclasse foi satisfatório (CCI = 0,53), o Alpha de Cronbach (α = 0,71) aceitável. O resultado final possibilitou classificar o serviço como tendo risco sanitário inaceitável. Considera-se o IQIS com conteúdo validado, tendo confiabilidade e reprodutibilidade para avaliação higiênico-sanitária, sendo uma inovação tecnológica para serviços de alimentação e nutrição e vigilância sanitária, possibilitando inspeção detalhada e rigorosa.

ABSTRACT

This study assessed occupational radiation doses in Santa Catarina, Brazil, from 2014 to 2017. Data were collected from Sistema de Informação Estadual de Radiações Ionizantes (SIERI), a compulsory occupational dose registration system established in Santa Catarina in 2014. Most doses were registered as lower than the dosemeter recording level (RL; 99.12%). Diagnostic radiology workers registered doses higher than the RL (61.13%) more frequently than nuclear medicine workers; however, the former received lower doses. Nuclear medicine workers represented 38.87% of dosemeter values higher than the RL, but their mean doses were higher. The professionals who registered the highest doses across both categories were radiology technologists/technicians and nursing workers. Establishment of a compulsory information system is important for monitoring the safety of workers. This study compiled data from the first few years of the SIERI program. Here, we report the current status of exposure in Santa Catarina.

ABSTRACT

Area monitoring is a fundamental test at radiodiagnostic facilities to maintain an acceptable level of radiation exposure for employees and members of the public. Experimental measurements were taken in an ionising radiation calibration laboratory. Four area monitor instruments were used. Dose and dose rate measurements were measured in integrated and rate operating modes. The results show that precautions are necessary where the area monitor uses exposure times of ≤2 s. When taking measurements in rate mode for times ≤2 s, the area monitors evaluated show a tendency to underestimate dose rate, the inaccuracy was 41 %, and varied between 34 and 45 % for different energies. It is highly recommendable to work in integrated mode, inaccuracy varied from 2 to 35 %. For measurements taken with exposure times of ≥3 s, the average inaccuracy was 15 % and the range was between 2 and 41 %.

ABSTRACT

Discutimos aqui aspectos vinculados ao enquadramento legal, a recomendações internacionais e a programas de formação em proteção radiológica; ao angiógrafo e à qualidade da imagem; aos efeitos biológicos e aos riscos das radiações ionizantes; às lesões em operadores e pacientes; aos níveis de referência do paciente; ao limite de dose ocupacional e a suas medidas de prevenção. O uso das radiações ionizantes acarreta riscos, que, contudo, justificam-se em procedimentos diagnósticos e terapêuticos. A consciência e o conhecimento desses riscos minimizam o dano, otimizando a qualidade da imagens e o uso seguro das radiações ionizantes. Tem-se demonstrado a ocorrência de cataratas radioinduzidas em trabalhadores de laboratórios de cateterismo. Diversos estudos sugerem que pode haver um risco significativo de opacidade do cristalino, caso não se utilizem adequadamente os dispositivos de proteção radiológica. Adicionalmente, esses tipos de procedimentos intervencionistas são realizados na América Latina, geralmente por médicos especialistas, com a colaboração de enfermeiros, tecnólogos e técnicos, que, muitas vezes, não têm formação adequada em proteção radiológica.


We discuss some aspects related to the legal framework, international recommendations and training programs on radiological protection; image quality and equipment; the biological effects and risks of ionizing radiation; lesions in patients and operators; patient's reference levels; occupational dose limit and preventive actions. The use of ionizing radiation involves risks that are justified in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The awareness and knowledge of these risks minimizes the damage, optimizing the quality of images and safe use of ionizing radiation. There is evidence of radiation-induced cataracts in individuals who work in catheterization laboratories. Several studies suggest there may be a significant risk of lens opacity, if radiological protection devices are not properly used. Additionally, these interventional procedures are performed in Latin America, usually by medical specialists in collaboration with nurses, technologists and technicians, who often do not have adequate training in radiological protection.

ABSTRACT

This study aims to contribute to the construction of a scenario regarding patient radiation exposure in Brazilian interventional radiology, aiming to provide data for the future drafting of specific legislation on interventional radiology because there is currently a lack of safety regulations for haemodynamics services in this country. Fourteen haemodynamics services in the states of Santa Catarina and Bahia were evaluated. The radiological devices were characterised through measurements of air kerma-area product, entrance surface air kerma (Ke), exposure time, spatial resolution (SR), low-contrast resolution and half-value layer. During the evaluation of instrument parameters, several non-conformities were found according to current Brazilian regulations, with SR presenting the most critical situation. The results of the present study indicate the need for the optimisation of clinical practices in complex radiological procedures, although the overall results for the dose scenario in the present study revealed values similar to those reported in international publications.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar as exposições pediátricas de radiologia intervencionista em dois hospitais do Estado da Bahia, visando contribuir para a construção de um cenário estadual e nacional, possibilitando o conhecimento das exposições e da necessidade de sua otimização, visto que as peculiaridades que envolvem a radiologia e a pediatria se potencializam quando se trata de procedimentos de radiologia intervencionista, em razão das doses elevadas de radiação. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados 32 procedimentos em quatro salas nos dois principais hospitais que realizam procedimentos de radiologia intervencionista pediátrica na Bahia. Foram avaliados os valores de kerma no ar incidente e o produto kerma-área no ar de 27 procedimentos cardiológicos e 5 procedimentos cerebrais. RESULTADOS: Os valores máximos de produto kerma-área e kerma obtidos para procedimentos cardiológicos foram, respectivamente, 129,9 Gy.cm² e 947,0 mGy, e para procedimentos cerebrais, 83,3 Gy.cm² e 961,0 mGy. CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados deste estudo mostraram valores de exposições superiores em até 14 vezes os obtidos em estudos realizados em outros países, chegando próximos de resultados obtidos para procedimentos em adultos. Isto revela quão elevadas podem ser as exposições pediátricas, indicando a necessidade de constante otimização dos procedimentos e avaliação das exposições.


OBJECTIVE: To evaluate pediatric radiation exposure in procedures of interventional radiology in two hospitals in the Bahia state, aiming at contributing to delineate the scenario at the state and national levels. The knowledge of exposure levels will allow an evaluation of the necessity of doses optimization, considering that peculiarities of radiology and pediatrics become even more significant in interventional radiology procedures which involve exposure to higher radiation doses. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 32 procedures were evaluated in four rooms of the two main hospitals performing pediatric interventional radiology procedures in the Bahia state. Air kerma rate and kerma-area product were evaluated in 27 interventional cardiac and 5 interventional brain procedures. RESULTS: Maximum values for air kerma rate and kerma-area product and air kerma obtained in cardiac procedures were, respectively, 129.9 Gy.cm² and 947.0 mGy; and, for brain procedures were 83.3 Gy.cm² and 961.0 mGy. CONCLUSION: The present study results showed exposure values up to 14 times higher than those found in other foreign studies, and approximating those found for procedures in adults. Such results demonstrate excessive exposure to radiation, indicating the need for constant procedures optimization and evaluation of exposure rates.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy of linear measurements on dry mandible specimens using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images acquired with different voxel sizes. METHODOLOGY: Eight human dry mandibles were submitted to CBCT examination, using the i-CAT (Imaging Sciences, Inc. Hatfield, PA) device and four protocols with different voxel sizes. Tomographic slices with a more central view of the markers, placed on six sites on each mandible, were selected to perform measurements. Values obtained from direct measurements on the dry mandible after sectioning them on the preestablished sites were compared with measurements from the tomographic images and the measurement error. RESULTS: There was no statistical difference between the measurement error of the protocols (P = 0.606). The mean value of the difference between the values obtained in the images and the dry mandible was smaller than 1 mm for all the protocols. CONCLUSION: The accuracy of vertical and horizontal measurements, using CBCT (i-CAT) for the four protocols, was shown to be comparable with the measurements performed on the dry mandible.

ABSTRACT

The X-ray diagnostic is one of the main diagnosis tools in medicine and its role, in public health, depends on the quality of the exams, the regulatory responsibility fits, mainly, in the National System of Sanitary Surveillance. With this perspective, it was developed a mathematical evaluation model of potential risks in radiodiagnostic and, through its use in the Brazilian health services of Bahia state, with the analysis of the situation found and its determinants. With that model, 94 procedures were evaluated in 38 Bahia state radiodiagnostic services. The study showed that 5.3% of the services had all of the procedures in level of acceptable potential risk. 23.7% showed, at least, one procedure with level of tolerable potential risk and 71% showed, at least, one procedure with a level of unacceptable potential risk. The analyses shows that the main determinants of the encountered situation are the deficient inspection by the sanitary surveillance system of the health services and of the industrial sector, the absence of basics of radiological protection in the curriculum of medicine courses and the fragility of practices control, by the respective professional council.

ABSTRACT

O radiodiagnóstico é uma das principais ferramentas de diagnose na medicina e seu papel, na saúde pública, depende da qualidade dos exames, cuja responsabilidade regulatória cabe principalmente ao Sistema Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária. Nessa perspectiva, foi desenvolvido um modelo matemático de avaliação de riscos potencial (MARP) em radiodiagnóstico e, através do seu uso em serviços de saúde da Bahia, analisada a situação encontrada e seus condicionantes. O MARP baseia-se no conceito de risco potencial e relaciona os indicadores de controle de riscos com os riscos potenciais e os responsáveis pelos controles. Usando esse modelo, avaliaram-se 94 procedimentos de 38 serviços de radiodiagnóstico. O estudo mostrou que 5,3 por cento dos serviços estavam com todos os procedimentos em nível de risco potencial aceitável. 23,7 por cento tinham pelo menos um procedimento com nível de risco potencial tolerável, e 71 por cento tinham pelo menos um procedimento com nível de risco potencial inaceitável. As análises mostraram que os principais condicionantes da situação encontrada dizem respeito à deficiência do sistema de vigilância sanitária na fiscalização dos serviços e da indústria, à ausência dos fundamentos de proteção radiológica nas diretrizes curriculares dos cursos de medicina e à fragilidade do controle das práticas pelos respectivos conselhos profissionais.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: o objetivo deste estudo reside na avaliação do produto dose-área (DAP) e das doses de entrada na pele (DEP), empregando protocolos com tamanho de voxel diferente, obtidos com o aparelho de Tomografia Computadorizada de Feixe Cônico (TCFC) i-CAT, a fim de determinar melhores parâmetros baseados nos princípios da radioproteção. MÉTODOS: para medição do DEP foi utilizada uma câmara de ionização do tipo lápis, e para o DAP foi utilizado um aparelho PTW. Quatro protocolos foram testados, a saber: (1) 40 seg., voxel de 0,2mm e 46,72mAs; (2) 40 seg., voxel de 0,25mm e 46,72mAs; (3) 20 seg., voxel de 0,3mm e 23,87mAs; (4) 20 seg., voxel de 0,4mm e 23,87mAs. A quilovoltagem permaneceu constante (120KVp). RESULTADOS: detectou-se diferença estatisticamente significativa (p<0,001) entre os quatro protocolos, para os dois métodos de avaliação da dose de radiação (DAP e DEP). Na avaliação do DAP, os protocolos 2 e 3 promoveram uma diferença estatisticamente significativa, não sendo possível detectar qual dos protocolos na avaliação da DEP proporcionou esse resultado. CONCLUSÃO: DAP e DEP apresentam-se como métodos de avaliação para doses de radiação em tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico, sendo necessários mais estudos para elucidar tal achado. O tamanho do voxel, isoladamente, não é capaz de interferir na dose de radiação em exames de TCFC (i-CAT). A dose de radiação para exames de TCFC (i-CAT) está diretamente relacionada ao tempo de exposição e à miliamperagem.


Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the dose-area product (DAP) and the entrance skin dose (ESD), using protocols with different voxel sizes, obtained with i-CAT Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), to determine the best parameters based on radioprotection principles. METHODS: A pencil-type ionization chamber was used to measure the ESD and a PTW device was used to measure the DAP. Four protocols were tested: (1) 40s, 0.2 mm voxel and 46.72 mAs; (2) 40s, 0.25 mm voxel and 46.72 mAs; (3) 20s, 0.3 mm voxel and 23.87 mAs; (4) 20s, 0.4 mm voxel and 23.87 mAs. The kilovoltage remained constant (120kVp). RESULTS: A significant statistical difference (p<0.001) was found among the four protocols for both methods of radiation dosage evaluation (DAP and ESD). For DAP evaluation, protocols 2 and 3 presented a statistically significant difference, and it was not possible to detect which of the protocols for ESD evaluation promoted this result. CONCLUSIONS: DAP and ESD are evaluation methods for radiation dose for Cone-Beam Computed Tomography, and more studies are necessary to explain such result. The voxel size alone does not affect the radiation dose in CBCT (i-CAT) examinations. The radiation dose for CBCT (i-CAT) examinations is directly related to the exposure time and milliamperes.

ABSTRACT

This paper presents the history of the discovery of ionizing radiation, as well as its biological effects and the resulting need to control subsequent health risks. It describes the historic evolution of risk control in radiodiagnosis in Brazil, demonstrating that it may be associated not only to the dose received, but also to errors in diagnosis and to costs to the health system. It is stressed that sanitary regulations have a broad remit of social co-responsibility to involve all the players with a view to safeguarding health.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo analisa o controle de riscos em radiodiagnóstico e seus condicionantes, considerando o marco regulatório vigente e identificando os diversos atores implicados nesta prática. O radiodiagnóstico é uma das principais ferramentas de diagnose da medicina moderna, sendo de fundamental importância para a detecção e acompanhamento de diversos agravos à saúde. Seu papel na saúde pública dependerá do controle e da qualidade dos exames e processos envolvidos, podendo representar um indispensável apoio diagnóstico ou um grave problema devido a informações diagnósticas incorretas ou incompletas, as exposições de pacientes, de trabalhadores e de indivíduos do público. Considerando que a vigilância sanitária, entendida como um campo de conhecimento científico e de práticas organizadas, visando à proteção da saúde, ainda está em processo de consolidação, além da descrição situacional, foram realizadas contribuições teóricas e metodológicas relacionadas ao conceito, controle e operacionalização da avaliação de riscos sanitários. Neste sentido, este trabalho propõe a utilização do conceito de risco potencial, com base no qual foi desenvolvido um modelo matemático para avaliação de risco potencial, utilizando os indicadores de controle de riscos estabelecidos no marco regulatório do radiodiagnóstico. Foram avaliados 94 procedimentos (7 de fluoroscopia, 14 de mamografia, 60 de radiografia convencional e 13 de tomografia) de 38 serviços de radiodiagnóstico no Estado da Bahia, analisando-se os condicionantes da situação encontrada...
