Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Interventional radiology and cardiology procedures involve significant radiation exposure for both patients and staff.
  • Accurate dose assessment is crucial for implementing effective radiation protection measures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine and compare patient and staff radiation doses across various interventional radiology and cardiology examinations.
  • To provide data for optimizing radiation safety in these procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Dose measurements using Siemens Artis-Zee and Philips Allura Centron systems.
  • Patient doses measured via kerma area product (KAP) and cumulative air kerma (CAK).
  • Staff doses measured using thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLD-100); patient effective doses calculated using PCXMC 2.0 software.

Main Results:

  • Lower extremity arteriography had a mean KAP of 30 Gy cm² and effective dose of 1.2 mSv.
  • Mean KAP values for cardiology procedures ranged from 16.7 Gy cm² (electrophysiology) to 162.8 Gy cm² (percutaneous coronary intervention).
  • Staff doses normalized to patient KAP were higher for cardiologists (0.22 μSv Gy⁻¹ cm⁻²) compared to radiologists (0.15 μSv Gy⁻¹ cm⁻²).

Conclusions:

  • Radiation doses vary significantly based on examination type and complexity.
  • Staff radiation doses are higher during cardiac interventions than interventional radiology procedures.
  • Findings emphasize the importance of tailored radiation protection strategies for different interventional procedures.
