Treatment of low-frequency radiation condition is given special consideration.
However, routine CT scan was not part of our postoperative protocol because of radiation exposure considerations.
However, the economic and radiation burden considerations have to be translated to the specific healthcare system and cannot be transformed to all clinical and geographic settings.
Rethinking the imaging strategies in patients with suspected renal colic taking into account radiation protection considerations is possible and it has started both within the radiological community [15, 30] and among emergency physicians [10, 13].
The optimum shield thickness was determined by comparing the calculated dose profiles with dose limit proposals in the IAEA standard (NS-G-1.13) on radiation protection considerations during nuclear power plant design.
The U.S. National Academy of Sciences NASS) has recently performed its own landmark risk assessment of spent fuel transport in the U.S., demonstrating the guiding principles and methods for use in comparative risk assessments involving radiation dose considerations.
Radiation biological considerations act on the assumption that the α/β value (tissue specific constant specifying the tissues' sensitivity for the possibility of developing a late toxicity if single doses are increased) of the prostate cancer cells is low [ 9].
Translation of these techniques to in vivo imaging modalities, such as the MDCT and HR-pQCT, are subject to technical limitations related to image quality, radiation dose considerations, and subject motion.
For practical radiation protective considerations, a second stress in addition to a low radiation stress can change the protective effect (reduced risk) of a low dose of radiation into a detrimental effect (increased risk), by moving the response through the upper stress threshold and out of the protective window.
