Kodak EDR 2 film dosimetry in cardiac catheterization labs was calibrated, showing a predictable dose-response curve up to 1 Gy. Performance consistency and uncertainties were evaluated, with dose uncertainty around -20% to +40% at 160 mGy.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiological Imaging
  • Radiation Dosimetry

Background:

  • Accurate radiation dose monitoring is crucial in interventional cardiology procedures.
  • Kodak EDR 2 film is utilized for dose assessment in cardiac catheterization laboratories.
  • Understanding film performance characteristics is essential for reliable dosimetry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To calibrate Kodak EDR 2 film for diagnostic reference levels in cardiac catheterization.
  • To model the dose-response curve of Kodak EDR 2 film up to its saturation point.
  • To investigate the consistency and quantify uncertainties associated with Kodak EDR 2 film dosimetry.

Main Methods:

  • Calibration of Kodak EDR 2 film across various beam qualities and exposure rates.

  • Modeling of the film's dose-response curve up to 1 Gy.
  • Investigation of film batch, time delays, and daily variations.
  • Quantification of effects from field size, exposure rate, beam quality, and dynamic wedge filters.

    • Main Results:

    • The dose-response curve was successfully modeled up to 1 Gy.
    • Film response consistency was evaluated concerning batch, processing time, and daily variations.
    • Overall dose uncertainty was estimated between -20% and +40% at 160 mGy.
    • Uncertainty increased near the film's saturation point, with observed artefacts.

    Conclusions:

    • Kodak EDR 2 film can be reliably used for dosimetry in cardiac catheterization up to 1 Gy.
    • The study quantified key factors influencing dose uncertainty for this film.
    • Awareness of potential artefacts and uncertainty ranges is important for accurate dose interpretation.
