Radiochromic films effectively measure maximum skin dose (MSD) during high-dose neuroradiology procedures like cerebral aneurysm embolization. This method provides accurate dose distribution data, crucial for patient safety and regulatory compliance.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Interventional neuroradiologic procedures, such as cerebral aneurysm embolization, involve significant radiation exposure.
  • Accurate measurement of patient skin dose is critical for assessing radiation-induced effects.
  • Maximum skin dose (MSD) is a key indicator for high-dose interventional radiology procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a novel method for evaluating maximum skin dose (MSD) using radiochromic films.
  • To assess the effectiveness of radiochromic films in measuring skin dose during neuroradiologic procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Studied 48 cerebral aneurysm embolization procedures in 42 patients.
  • Recorded fluoroscopic and digital dose-area product (DAP), fluoroscopy time, and image counts.

  • Measured MSD using Gafchromic XR type R radiochromic films.

    • Main Results:

    • Determined the interpolation coefficient between skin dose and DAP (kappa = 0.0029 cm(-2)).
    • Estimated MSD from DAP for 27 procedures using an interpolation line.
    • The mean MSD was 1.16 Gy (range: 0.23-3.20 Gy).

    Conclusions:

    • Radiochromic XR type R films provide an effective method for measuring MSD.
    • These films offer data on both maximum dose and dose distribution.
    • This method aligns with stringent regulatory recommendations for skin dose recording.
