However, to arrive at some estimate of radiation risk, a conservative approach has been taken, and a linear extrapolation of radiation effects from high doses to low doses has been made. Thus, it is assumed that any exposure to radiation carries some risk of somatic or genetic damage and that there is no threshold or safe dose. In medical practice, diagnostic radiological procedures should be performed only if useful clinical information will be derived. In addition, this information should be obtained at the least possible risk to the patient. For mass chest X-rays, mammography, and lung scans, a quantitative determination of benefit to risk is developed. This approach, though possible desirable, is exceedingly difficult to establish for most diagnostic radiological procedures. Thus, good clinical judgement should be employed in radiological practice, just as it should be employed in all aspects of medical practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":75747,"journal":{"name":"CRC critical reviews in clinical radiology and nuclear medicine","volume":"6 3","pages":"425-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1975-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12276273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We soon discovered that an inorganic compound, pyrophosphate, appeared to have certain advantages over polyphosphate. Other workers formulated diphosphonates (organic phosphates) which also demonstrated advantages over polyphosphates. Comparison studies in rabbits utilizing 85Sr, 87mSr, 18F, and several phosphates (inorganic and organic) proved the 99mTc-labeled phosphates to be clearly superior in delineating normal skeletal anatomy. Studies in humans confirmed that excellent visualization of bone was obtained with 99mTc-labeled phosphates using either a gamma camera or a rectilinear scanner. What was not known, however, was just how reliable this class of agents would prove to be in detecting bone disease when compared to bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals such as 85Sr, 87mSr, and 18F.

This basic fact is commonly ignored in the evaluation of roentgenograms obtained because of trauma. The soft tissue component of the traumatic lesion may produce the most obvious roentgen sing of injury and is, in these instances, fundamental to the correct roentgen diagnosis. In many instances, the soft tissue lesion is frequently of greater clinical significance that the more obvious skeletal injury. An awareness of the roentgen signs that signal soft tissue injury, and of those skeletal lesions that are commonly associated with radiographically silent, but clinically more significant, soft tissue damage, leads to prompt institution of appropriate additional diagnostic studies or therapeutic measures. Thus, the soft tissue injury in the roentgen diagnosis of trauma has both diagnostic and therapeutic significance.

Arteriographic growth and development since that time have been punctuated with such names as Seldinger, Steinberg, Viamonte, Abrams, Sones, and many more. Keeping pace with their technical and diagnostic achievements has been the cause for a whole new industrial field - that of angiographic equipment and technology. New X-ray tubes, generators, film, etc. have been developed. Angiographic tables are available which have been designed to do highly subspecialized studies. The spectrum of catheter curves and materials available allows visualization of vessels down to the order of 0.1 mm when combined with magnification. Chemoangiography for treatment and subselective venous sampling for hormonal assays are commonplace. Although \"the beginnings\" for all angiography lie in the evaluation of peripheral vasculature, equipment sophistication for this basic study has often lagged behind that of the more glamorous organal examinations. The development of the biphasic ijection technique hopefully represents an anwer to both multiple injections and X-ray exposures.
