Errors and risks of X-ray diagnosis in urology

Creators

Description

Errors are mostly technical errors when instruments are used. Complications may be due to the application of contrast media; also the radiation exposure values must be care fully calculated when planning an X-ray examination as the mean gonadal doses are not negligible in urological X-ray examinations. Finally, misinterpretation of X-ray pictures may happen even to the most expert. These errors can be reduced to a high degree by optimum cooperation between urologists and radiologists.

Abstract (German)

Komplikationen koennen auftreten durch die Applikation von Kontrastmitteln, und schliesslich muss die Strahlenbelastung vor der Planung einer Roentgenuntersuchung genau ueberdacht werden, da die mittleren Gonadendosen bei urologischen Roentgenuntersuchungen keineswegs zu vernachlaessigen sind. Fehldeutungen der Roentgenaufnahmen schliesslich koennen auch dem Erfahrenen unterlaufen. Sie lassen sich nicht zuletzt reduzieren durch eine optimale Zusammenarbeit zwischen Urologen und Roentgenologen. (orig./MG)
