ISBN: 9780080438610 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. There has been a major shift in the way we conceptualize and provide services to children and adolescents with mental health needs. We are moving away from the traditional disorder-oriented model of treatment to a child-centered, family-focused service delivery system that mandates mental health services in the context of the child's family and social ecology. This new system of care has spawned many variations of the model, including wraparound services, multisystemic treatment (MST), futures planning, and person-centred planning. As systems of care are different across countries... There has been a major shift in the way we conceptualize and provide services to children and adolescents with mental health needs.

Icrp Publication 87: Managing Patient Dose in Computed Tomography: Annals of the Icrp Volume 30/4, Icrp Online
ISBN: 9780080440835 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 46 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Computed tomography (CT) examinations can involve relatively high doses to patients. The doses can often approach or exceed levels known with certainty to increase the probability of cancer. The frequency of CT examinations is increasing worldwide and the variety of examinations is also increasing. However, in contrast to the common trend in diagnostic radiology, the rapid developments in CT have not led in general to a reduction of patient doses per examination. Therefore, management of patient dose is crucial. Proper justification of examinations, use of the appropriate technical parameters...

Icrp Publication 91: A Framework for Assessing the Impact of Ionising Radioation on Non-Human Species
ISBN: 9780080443102 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 70 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The proposed framework is designed to harmonise with the ICRP's approach to the protection of human beings, but does not intend to set regulatory standards. Instead, the proposed framework is intended to be a practical tool to provide high-level advice and guidance for regulators and operators. An agreed set of quantities and units, a set of reference dose models, reference dose-per-unit-intake (or unit exposure), and reference fauna and flora are required to serve as a basis for the more fundamental understanding and interpretation of the relationships between exposure and dose and between...

ICRP Publication 92 : Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE), Quality Factor (Q), and Radiation Weighting Factor (wR)
ISBN: 9780080443119 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 122 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The effect of ionising radiation is influenced by the dose, the dose rate, and the quality of the radiation. Before 1990, dose-equivalent quantities were defined in terms of a quality factor, Q(L), that was applied to the absorbed dose at a point in order to take into account the differences in the effects of different types of radiation. In its 1990 recommendations, the ICRP introduced a modified concept. For radiological protection purposes, the absorbed dose is averaged over an organ or tissue, T, and this absorbed dose average is weighted for the radiation quality in terms of the...

Icrp Publication 93: Managing Patient Dose in Digital Radiology
ISBN: 9780080444697 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Digital techniques have the potential to improve the practice of radiology but they also risk the overuse of radiation. The main advantages of digital imaging, i.e. wide dynamic range, post processing, multiple viewing options, and electronic transfer and archiving possibilities, are clear but overexposures can occur without an adverse impact on image quality. In conventional radiography, excessive exposure produces a black film. In digital systems, good images are obtained for a large range of doses. It is very easy to obtain (and delete) images with digital fluoroscopy systems, and there...
