Radiologists performing interventional procedures received low radiation doses to eyes, thyroid, and fingers. Careful technique and monitoring ensure radiation exposure remains at acceptable levels during X-ray examinations.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiology
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Interventional radiology procedures utilize X-ray imaging.
  • Radiologists performing these procedures are potentially exposed to ionizing radiation.
  • Assessing radiation doses is crucial for occupational safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To measure radiation doses to unprotected radiologist body parts during biliary and renal interventions.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of protective measures and technique in minimizing radiation exposure.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized thermoluminescent dosimeters to quantify radiation doses.
  • Measured doses to specific areas: eyes, thyroid, and fingers.
  • Focused on procedures using an overcouch X-ray tube.

Main Results:

  • Mean radiation doses to the eyes, thyroid, and fingers ranged from 0.27 to 1.29 mSv per examination.
  • These findings confirm the necessity of radiation dose monitoring for interventional radiologists.

Conclusions:

  • Radiation doses to radiologists during interventional procedures can be maintained at acceptable levels.
  • Careful technique and consistent monitoring are essential for ensuring radiologist safety in interventional radiology.
