Radio procedural

A radiotherapy room is a room in the radiology department where radiopharmaceuticals (RPs) are administered to patients for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases.

Radiopharmaceuticals are radioactive substances that are used to create images of human internal organs and tissues. They contain a radioactive isotope that, once introduced into the body, begins to emit particles called gamma rays. These particles are picked up by special detectors located in the radio procedure room and then processed by a computer to create an image.

One of the most common radiopharmaceuticals is technetium-99m, which is used to diagnose diseases of the heart, kidneys, thyroid gland and other organs. It is administered intravenously and remains in the body for several hours, after which it is excreted through the kidneys and intestines.

Another popular radiopharmaceutical is iodine-131, which is used to treat thyroid cancer. It is administered orally and remains in the body for several days, after which it is also excreted through the intestines.

To introduce radiopharmaceuticals into the radiotherapy room, special devices such as syringes or droppers are used. The procedure can be painful, especially if the patient has an allergic reaction to radiopharmaceuticals or pain medications. Therefore, before administering a radiopharmaceutical, it is necessary to carry out appropriate preparation and monitoring of the patient.

Radiotherapy is an important part of radiological diagnosis and therapy. It allows you to obtain accurate and informative images of internal organs and tissues, which helps doctors make the correct diagnosis and prescribe effective treatment.

A radiotherapy room is a room in the radiology department where radiopharmaceuticals are administered to patients for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. The radiotherapy room contains special devices that are used to irradiate the patient and administer radiopharmaceuticals.

Radiopharmaceuticals are used in radiological diagnostics to create images of human internal organs and tissues. They contain radioactive isotopes, which, when entering the body, begin to emit energy and accumulate in certain organs and tissues. This accumulated material is then used to create an image.

In radiological treatment, radiopharmaceuticals can be used to kill cancer cells or shrink tumors. These procedures are performed under the supervision of a radiologist.

To carry out radiological procedures, special devices are used in the radiotherapy room: gamma cameras, X-ray machines, computed tomographs and others. They allow you to obtain images of internal organs and carry out treatment based on these images.

In the radiotherapy room, all safety measures are observed to prevent radiation exposure of patients and medical personnel. Before the procedure, all patients undergo an examination to ensure that they have no contraindications for the procedure.

Thus, the radiotherapy room is an important link in the work of the radiology department. It allows for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases using radiopharmaceuticals and special devices.
