Purpose: Göttingen minipig (G-MP) displays classic gastrointestinal acute radiation syndrome (GI-ARS) following total body irradiation (TBI) at GI doses which are lethal by 10-14 days. (bvsalud.org)
Body irradiation1
CRP and IGF-1 were upregulated following PBI at GI doses.Conclusions: This lower hemi-body irradiation model allowed for extended survival at GI-specific ARS doses and development of a well-controlled GI syndrome with minimal hematopoietic injury or confounding mortality from cardiopulmonary damage.

Malignancy2
Part A of this study evaluates iopofosine I 131 (CLR 131) in patients with select B-cell malignancies (multiple myeloma( MM), indolent chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL)/Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia (WM), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL) who have been previously treated with standard therapy for their underlying malignancy. (cellectar.com)
Ten documented cases of disseminated bone metastasis due to malignancy were evaluated to assess the efficacy of hemibody radiation for pain control. (jortho.org)
Efficacy1
Part B (CLOVER-WaM) is a pivotal efficacy study evaluating IV administration of iopofosine I 131 in patients with WM that have received at least two prior lines of therapy. (cellectar.com)
Abdomen1
The combined CTA abdomen and pelvis study code should not be reported in conjunction with the other CTA abdomen, pelvis, lower extremity, aorto-iliofemoral runoff or 3-D codes (72191, 73706, 74175, 75635, 76376, 76377). (acr.org)
Bone3
head, forelimbs, and thorax were outside the irradiation field, sparing â ¼50% of the bone marrow. (bvsalud.org)
Code 77079, Computed tomography bone mineral density study of the appendicular skeleton (eg, radius, wrist, heel) and code 77083, Radiographic absorptiometry (eg, photodensitometry, radiogrammetry, 1 or more sites) will be deleted in 2012, as these procedures are obsolete and have been replaced by newer technology. (acr.org)
Codes 77080 (axial), 77081 (appendicular) and 77082 (vertebral fracture assessment) remain and are available to describe dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry bone density studies of one or more sites. (acr.org)
A single large hemibody radiation field is shown to be effective in alleviation of pain in such patients. (jortho.org)
Single2
Hemibody radiation can be used to treat overt multiple metastasis , relieving patients pain in a single sitting. (jortho.org)
Hemibody radiation was delivered using photon beam from megavoltage unit by 6 MV photons of Linear accelerator going through anterior and posterior portals to cover the entire region in a single portal at extended skin to source distance. (jortho.org)
Patients2
A Hemibody radiation provided pain relief ranging from 64% to 100% .Complete pain relief was achieved in 7 patients. (jortho.org)
Between June 2004 and September 2005 ten patients with multiple painful skeletal metastasis due to various malignancies were treated at our radiotherapy department using hemibody radiation. (jortho.org)
Code2
It is believed that code 76101, Radiological examination, complex motion…) is being used inappropriately by dentists and oral surgeons to describe a Panorex study. (acr.org)
Therefore, a cross-reference also was added following code 76101 directing the coder to use 70355 to describe a panoramic x-ray study. (acr.org)
Type1
Editorial revision was made to 70355, Orthopantogram, to list a panoramic x-ray as an example of this type of study. (acr.org)
