Organ-specific radiation dose rates and effective dose rates during percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Adrenalectomy is indicated for patients with large adrenal lesions or functional tumors. Cryoablation is currently used as a surgical alternative for the treatment of prostate, lung, brain, pharynx, and liver tumors. The purpose of this study was to determine if cryosurgery could be delivered ...
