About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Radiation Medicine” by Pedro Andreo.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about radiation medicine, also known as radiation oncology. Radiation medicine is a medical specialty that focuses on the use of ionizing radiation to treat cancer and other diseases. Radiation therapy is used to kill cancer cells by damaging their DNA, preventing them from dividing and growing.

Radiation oncologists work with a team of other medical professionals, including radiation therapists, medical physicists, and dosimetrists, to design and deliver the most effective treatment plan for each patient. Treatment plans are tailored to the individual patients needs, taking into account factors such as the location and size of the tumor, the stage of the cancer, and the patients overall health.

Radiation therapy can be delivered in several ways, including external beam radiation therapy, internal radiation therapy (also called brachytherapy), and systemic radiation therapy. External beam radiation therapy uses a machine called a linear accelerator to deliver radiation from outside the body, while internal radiation therapy involves placing a radioactive source inside the body near the tumor. Systemic radiation therapy involves the use of radioactive drugs that are given intravenously or orally.

Radiation therapy can cause side effects, including fatigue, skin irritation, and nausea, but these side effects are usually temporary and can be managed with medication and other supportive care. Radiation oncologists work closely with other members of the patients care team to manage side effects and ensure the best possible outcome for each patient.

Transcript

Slide 1-

Radiation MedicineThe “human side” of nuclear applications Pedro Andreo, DirectorDivision of Human Health (NAHU) Department of Nuclear Sciences and Applications
Slide 2-

Radiation Medicine 2 BACKGROUND The utilization of radiation in medicine for diagnosis and treatment dates from the 19th century, almost from the time x-rays and radioactivity were discovered Now its use is deeply embedded in medical practice. For many purposes, it is indispensable – both for diagnosis and for treatment

Radiation Medicine 32 THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OFRADIATION DOSE TO THE PATIENT Diagnostic radiology (over 2 billions exam) Low dose to patient (most exams) Large population dose Risk: stochastic effects Radiotherapy (5.5 millions treatments) High dose to patient (intended!) Risk: deterministic and stochastic effects Nuclear medicine (32 millions procedures) Low doses (mostly) Risk: stochastic effects
