Patient radiation exposure during neuroembolization is significant. Entrance skin doses (ESDs) in some cases exceeded thresholds for skin injuries, highlighting the need for radiation safety awareness.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Medical Physics
  • Neurointerventional Surgery

Background:

  • Neuroembolization procedures are increasingly common.
  • Radiation exposure risks associated with neuroembolization are not widely recognized.
  • Patient safety concerning radiation dose requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate patient entrance skin dose (ESD) during neuroembolization procedures.
  • To assess radiation exposure across multiple institutions performing neuroembolizations.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 103 neuroembolizations across 6 institutions.
  • Patient ESDs were measured using caps with radiosensitive indicators.
  • Clinical follow-up was conducted to monitor for scalp effects.

Main Results:

  • Average fluoroscopic time was 67.1 minutes; average digital subtraction angiography frames were 883.
  • Average maximum patient ESD was 1.9 Gy, with institutional averages ranging from 1.0 to 2.4 Gy.
  • Radiation-induced epilation occurred in 6 patients.

Conclusions:

  • Maximum ESDs during neuroembolization can surpass safe limits for skin injury.
  • The findings underscore the importance of monitoring and managing radiation doses in neurointerventional procedures.
