Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection

info@anyma.io — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection Lun, 11/04/2011 - 00:00

The International Commission on Radiological Protection issued its last basic recommendations in 1977. The recommendations have been used widely throughout the world to limit exposure of both radiation workers and members of the public to ionising radiations. Supplementary statements to the 1977 recommendations were issued when necessary by the Commission, but developments in the last few years have made it necessary to issue a completely new set of recommendations, officially adopted in November 1990. In publishing these recommendations, the Commission has had three aims in mind: to take account of new biological information and of trends in the setting of safety standards; to improve the presentation of the recommendations; and to maintain as much stability in the recommendations as is consistent with the new information. The recommendations are set out in the form of a main text supported by annexes. The main text contains all the recommendations, together with sufficient explanatory material to make clear the underlying reasoning for policy makers. The supporting annexes contain more detailed scientific information on specific points for specialists.

Structural Shielding Design and Evaluation for Medical Use of X Rays and Gamma Rays of Energies up to 10 MeV. Lun, 11/04/2011 - 00:00

This report of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, which supersedes NCRP Report No. 34, is concerned with structural shielding design and evaluation for medical installations utilizing x rays and gamma rays of energies up to 10 MeV. The report contains recommendations and technical information as well as a discussion of the various factors which must be considered in the selection of appropriate shielding materials and in the calculation of the barrier thickness. Recent availability of new data used to calculate the shielding requirements has resulted in revision of some of the shielding requirement tables set out in Appendix C. Specific values of the parameters used in the formulation of the tables are explicitly given. The calculational procedures are presented in such a manner as to facilitate their use in deriving customized shielding requirements not to be found in the tables. An adjunct to the report presenting full sized reproductions of the curves for barrier requirements is also an innovation for the NCRP. This report is mainly intended for radiological physicists, radiologists, and regulatory personnel who specialize in radiation protecbon. Sections of the report should be of interest also to architects, hospital administrators, and others who are concerned with the planning of new radiation facilities.

The Design of Radiotherapy Treatment Room Facilities

The Design of Radiotherapy Treatment Room Facilities Lun, 11/04/2011 - 00:00

This publication was conceived following a scientific meeting on the subject in November 1990. The long gestation period has enabled the editors to commission additional material to ensure that the final product is both comprehensive and up-to-date. Indeed, the editors have actively filtered and smoothed the various contributions to the extent that many of the eight chapters cannot be directly attributable to individual authorships. There is, however, full indication and acknowledgment of the efforts of more than 30 contributors, not all of them physicists.

Gestión clínica en oncología radioterápica.

Gestión clínica en oncología radioterápica. Vie, 25/07/2003 - 00:00

Colabora: Asociación Española de Radioterapia y OncologíaCasi la mitad de los aparatos de radioterapia en España están obsoletos, lo que reduce la eficacia de los tratamientos. Esta es una de las conclusiones de la presente obra, que cuenta con la colaboración de la Asociación Española de Radioterapia y Oncología (AERO). En el libro se pone de manifiesto que la antigüedad de los aparatos repercute negativamente en la tasa de curación de los tumores, ya que la exposición a estos equipos, por su ineficacia, duplica o triplica lo recomendado, a la vez que les hace estar sometidos a constantes averías que provocan, en muchos casos, que los pacientes tengan que esperar para recibir tratamiento, haciendo que la eficacia de la terapéutica sea menor. 'Gestión clínica en oncología radioterápica' es la primera obra de estas características que se edita en España. Nace con el objetivo de orientar a los especialistas sobre las herramientas que facilitan la gestión clínica en oncología radioterápica, para optimizar al máximo los recursos y el control de la calidad de sus procesos, y contribuir así a la mejora de la asistencia que se presta a los pacientes.Albert Biete, Felipe Calvo, Amalia Palacioshttp://www.inese.es

Infrastructure for radiotherapy in The Netherlands: development from 1970 to 2010 Mié, 01/01/1997 - 00:00

Int J Radat Oncol Biol Phys. 1997 Jan 15;37(2): p. 441-415
Páginas: 5 págsUniversity Hospital Nijmegen, Institute of Radiotherapy, The Netherlands.

In 1993 the radiotherapy advisory committee of the Dutch Health Council published its report on the developments of infrastructure for radiotherapy in The Netherlands during the last 10 years and the prognosis for future needs until 2010. Based on demographic trends, the expected incidence of cancer, the role of radiotherapy in the treatment of cancer, and the workload assessment in a model department, two scenarios are presented for the development of infrastructure. According to the committee, the Quality Scenario would be the most appropriate.Van Daal, W y Bos, M.

Análisis de costes por procedimiento en una unidad de Oncología Radioterápica Mié, 01/05/1996 - 00:00

Conill, C.; Bisbe, J.; Verger, E.; Borràs, J.M.

Resumen:

El progresivo incremento de los costes en la sanidad comporta múltiples esfuerzos de contención de los gastos. El presente trabajo consiste en diseñar un modelo "flexible" que permita: 1) el cálculo de los costes para cada una de las actividades a desarrollar en un servicio de oncología radioterápica y 2) adaptable a cada situación concreta, es decir, modificable en función de las variables que puedan influir en el resultado final. Se ha desarrollado un sistema de contabilidad de costes para cada nivel de complejidad, de cada actividad producto-servicio. La imputación de los costes a las diferentes actividades se ha efectuado siguiendo el criterio de magnitud del tiempo empleado. El coste principal se fija (directo/indirecto) y como consecuencia el coste por actividad depende directamente del volumen de producción. Para los diferentes escenarios planteados se comprueban las variaciones en el coste final unitario. El rendimiento de la unidad de tratamiento "marcará" el coste unitario final de todos los procedimientos.Conill, C. ... [et al.]

Cost of radiotherapy in Sweden

Cost of radiotherapy in Sweden Lun, 01/01/1996 - 00:00

The Swedish Council on technology Assessment in Healthcare Radiotherapy for Cancer. Chapter 8.
Acta Oncológica 1997 (35) Spul 6
Páginas: 57-71 pág.This chapter addresses the economic aspects of radiotherapy. It includes a summary of the costs for radiotherapy in Sweden, a literature review of economic studies on cancer radiotherapy, and estimates of radiotherapy costs in Sweden for 1991. Appendix I describes the types of economic assessments relevant to an economic analysis of radiotherapy. Appendix II analyzes potential economies of scale, and the economic consequences of changed fractionation schedules. Cancer diagnosis and treatment accounts for approximately 5% of the total healthcare expenditure in Sweden (1), corresponding to 6.9 billion Swedish kronor (SEK) per year in 1993 monetary value. The costs of radiotherapy, an important modality for treating cancer, have not been fully described. This report presents such an estimate. The cost of external radiotherapy in Sweden in 1991 was approximately 260 million SEK. This corresponds to approximately 4% of the cost for cancer care. On average, the cost per irradiated field was approximately 500 SEK, the cost per fraction approximately 1125 SEK, and the cost per patient approximately 17,200 SEK. The estimates per patient vary widely by group. A rough estimate of the cost for curative radiotherapy for breast cancer would be approximately 31,000 SEK, which can be contrasted with a cost of approximately 7000 SEK for palliative treatment of bone metastases. The cost for brachytherapy in 1991 was, according to departmental financial reports, approximately 36 million SEK. Hence, the costs for external radiotherapy and brachytherapy were approximately 300 million SEK in 1991. In 1993 prices, this corresponds to approximately 330 million SEK, representing the total direct costs for radiotherapy in Sweden. However, this figure does not include costs for, eg, hospitalization in conjunction with radiotherapy, nor the other costs associated with this type of treatment. Several potential sources of error underlie these figures. The following overview presents and evaluates the foundation for these estimates. Appendix I to this chapter discusses the problem of how these estimates should be defined, and how costs should be related to the different ways for measuring treatment results.
