- Analysis of dose and Acute Radio-Toxicity in breast cancer patients [ECR 2022 Book of Abstracts]Publication . Carmo, A.; Ramos, M.; Serra, F.; Abrantes, António; Rodrigues, S.; Ribeiro, L. P.; Vicente, B.; Almeida, R. P. P.Over the last 20 years, there have been significant technological and technical advances in radiotherapy for breast cancer. However acute radiationinduced skin toxicity remains a side effect impacting the quality of life in breast cancer patients. The aim of this study was to verify if there is a relationship between the dose-surface that reaches the skin and the location of acute radio toxicity.
- Changes in bone mineral density in individuals with cerebral palsyPublication . Viegas, M.; Ribeiro, L. P. V.; Pinheiro, João; Vicente, B.; Rodrigues, S. I.; Abrantes, A.According to Scheinberg, et al. (2015) citing Bianchi ML. (2013) Cerebral Palsy (CP) is one of the most prevalent diseases within those that affect bone mass, and is often related to other pathologies such as osteoporosis. According to António, D., H., et al, (2020) citing NIH, (2002); WHO, (2003) osteoporosis is a pathology that involves others and is defined by the deterioration of bone tissue. In this way, with the alterations caused in the bone tissue and with the reduced BMD values, the bones lose resistance to traumas, causing their fragility and, consequently, a greater probability of the occurrence of fractures. In this way, BMD measurement will help in the diagnosis of osteopenia/osteoporosis and in the prevention of future bone fractures. In addition to bone densitometry, there are other methods, less invasive and less expensive, that effectively analyze BMD. CP is characterized as a permanent, though not invariable, disturbance of movement and posture due to a non-progressive defect or lesion of the brain early in life. (Rosa, A.C.A. & Matos, M.R. (2017)) Depending on the area of the nervous system affected, the patient with CP presents neuromuscular alterations. Each change will compromise differently and to different degrees, affecting the functional performance of these patients.
- Clinical diagnostic reference levels in computed tomography examinationsPublication . Marques, Raquel; Rodrigues, Sónia; Abrantes, António; Ribeiro, Luís; Azevedo, Kevin; Almeida, Rui; Vicente, B.For the accomplishment of this study, CT dose descriptors such as mAs, kVp, Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDI) and Dose Length Product (DLP) were registered for CT examinations of the brain, face, chest, spine, abdomen and pelvis, through the examination of the file dose protocol grouped into 12 different clinical indications and using a sample of 20 patients per each clinical indication. A final total of 240 examinations were considered.
- Ultrasound evaluation of the patellar tendon in sports practitioners and non- sports practitioners: the radiographer role [ECR 2022 Book of Abstracts]Publication . Pissara, Ângela; Vicente, B.; Ribeiro, L. P.; Rodrigues, S.; Almeida, R. P. P.; Abrantes, António; Lesyuk, O.; Pinheiro, J.Patellar tendon (PT) injuries are one of the most common overuse injuries in sports. Ultrasound is a well-established technique that has proven to be an ideal choice to characterise and evaluate this tendon. The aim of this study was to evaluate PT dimensions in sports practitioners (SP), namely cyclists and volleyball players (VP), and non-sports practitioners (NSP).
