Abstract
The benefits of a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) implantation are known in severe heart failure and its implantation may also be considered during pregnancy to ensure safe pregnancy and delivery for both the mother and the fetus. This study on a patient case aimed to estimate the absorbed dose (AD) to the fetus during the CRT implantation of 21st week of the pregnant woman. AD measurement was done using anthropomorphic phantom, radiophotoluminescence dosemeters and Monte Carlo simulation utilizing kerma area product (KAP) of the procedures. The measured AD for a phantom's uterus and heart was 0.116 and 14.7 mGy with total KAP of 27.9 Gycm2. The estimated actual AD to the fetus and the mother's heart was 0.004 and 1.2 mGy, with total KAP of 1.5 Gycm2. The dose to the fetus can be minimized with the optimized procedure.
期刊介绍:
Radiation Protection Dosimetry covers all aspects of personal and environmental dosimetry and monitoring, for both ionising and non-ionising radiations. This includes biological aspects, physical concepts, biophysical dosimetry, external and internal personal dosimetry and monitoring, environmental and workplace monitoring, accident dosimetry, and dosimetry related to the protection of patients. Particular emphasis is placed on papers covering the fundamentals of dosimetry; units, radiation quantities and conversion factors. Papers covering archaeological dating are included only if the fundamental measurement method or technique, such as thermoluminescence, has direct application to personal dosimetry measurements. Papers covering the dosimetric aspects of radon or other naturally occurring radioactive materials and low level radiation are included. Animal experiments and ecological sample measurements are not included unless there is a significant relevant content reason.
