    Dose estimation in abdominal CT scans using CT-EXPO software
    2022 - SOUZA, D.C.B.; VICENTE, R.; SA, L.V.; SILVA, E.H.; OLIVEIRA, M.V.L.; CIDRAL, M.E.V.; FARIA, C.R.; CAMILO, N.F.
    The application of ionizing radiation in diagnostic medicine has increased worldwide in the last decades. Computed Tomography (CT) is the main radiological procedure that contributes to the increase of the collective dose in the population. The aim of this study was to estimate the doses received by patients undergoing CT scans in a public hospital in Santa Catarina - Brazil, employing data from the DICOM header and utilizing the CT-Expo V. 2.7 software. The data were selected from 45 abdominal CT scans consisting of two series: pre-contrast and one post-contrast intravenous, of adult patients performed in December 2020. The spreadsheets with the data extracted from the DICOM headers were provided by the Santa Catarina Telemedicine System (STT). The effective dose and organ doses were calculated by CTDIvol and DLP values using the software. Overall, the organs that showed the higher equivalent doses were the kidneys (19.5 mSv), spleen (18.5 mSv), stomach (18.9 mSv), and liver (18.1 mSv). The estimated effective doses were 7.31 and 8.41 mSv, for non-contrast and contrast-enhanced examinations. The use of software such as CT-Expo can support the estimation of effective doses received by patients through the information extracted from the DICOM header. The presented methodology can be a useful tool to retrospectively estimate the doses in CT services in Brazil.

    Preliminary studies on electron beam irradiation as a treatment method of radioactive oil sludge
    2021 - TESSARO, A.P.G.; VICENTE, R.; MARUMO, J.T.; TEIXEIRA, A.C.S.C.; ARAUJO, L.G.
    Radiation-induced advanced oxidation processes have been proposed for the treatment of various types of wastes. However, electron beam technologies for the removal of recalcitrant compounds in petroleum wastes are still poorly understood. This work aims at evaluating the effects on the degradation of organic matter from oil sludge by electron beam irradiation. Characterization methods were employed to identify the chemical elements present in the waste. Radiometric analysis was performed to identify radionuclides and measure dose rates. Preliminary immobilization of the untreated waste with cement indicated resistance values very close to the minimum established in national regulation. To treat the waste, an electron beam accelerator, model Dynamitron II, with variable current up to 25 mA was employed and the irradiation doses ranged from 20 to 200 kGy. Solutions were prepared with an initial H2O2 concentration of 1.34 mol·L-1. The effects on the removal of total organic carbon are discussed.
