Abstract

With the recent technological developments, computed tomography is becoming more important in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. However, potential complications of the radiation dose used during the test have led debates. In the current situation, the data about undesir- able effects of radiation dose used in cardiac computed tomography is not clear. In this paper, we reviewed the data about computed tomogra- phy and the risk of radiation. In order to reduce the risk of radiation due to computed tomography, the test should be performed with proper indication and in suitable patients. Besides, recently developed radiation dose reduction technologies and patient specific protocols have sig- nificantly reduced the radiation exposure. The clinicians should be well informed about the radiation reduction techniques and aware of the technical capabilities in their hospital.

Özet

Son yıllardaki teknik gelişmeler nedeniyle kardiyovasküler hastalıkların tanısında bilgisayarlı tomografinin yeri gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Ancak bu işlem sırasında kullanılan radyasyon dozu, buna bağlı oluşabilecek potansiyel sonuçlar konusunda tartışma yaratmaktadır. Elimizde henüz bilgisayarlı tomografide kullanılan radyasyon dozunun yol açabileceği istenmeyen etkiler konusunda net veriler bulunmamaktadır. Bu derlemede bilgisayarlı tomografi ve radyasyon riski ile ilgili literatürdeki veriler gözden geçirilmiştir. Bilgisayarlı tomografide kullanılan radyasyon dozunu azaltmak için alınabilecek önlemlerin başında testin doğru endikasyonla, uygun hastada yapılması gelmektedir. Bunun yanında son yıllarda geliştirilen radyasyon azaltıcı teknolojiler ve kişiye özgü çekim teknikleri sayesinde kullanılan radyasyon dozu belirgin ölçüde azaltılabilmektedir. Klinisyenlerin radyasyon riskinin azaltılması açısından kullanılması gereken teknikler konusunda bilgi sahibi olmaları ve çalıştıkları merkezdeki teknik olanakların farkında olmaları önem taşımaktadır.
