Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

466
The most common cardiovascular diagnostic test is an X-ray. It produces images of the heart, blood vessels, and adjacent structures.
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Summary

This study defines clinical criteria to assess the complexity of fluoroscopy-guided interventional procedures (FGIPs). Categorizing FGIPs by complexity aids in refining dose analysis and optimizing radiation safety for interventional radiology (IR).

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Radiation Safety

Background:

  • Implementing diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) in interventional radiology (IR) is challenging due to procedure complexity variations.
  • Fluoroscopy-guided interventional procedures (FGIPs) exhibit significant exposure value differences for similar procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish clinical criteria for assessing the complexity of three specific FGIPs: percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD), transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE), and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS).
  • To provide a framework for more accurate DRL implementation in Portugal.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the modified Delphi method, a systematic expert consensus process.
  • Conducted three rounds of interaction involving IR experts and the research team to define complexity criteria.

Main Results:

  • Developed and approved complexity criteria, subcriteria, and classification scores for PTBD, TACE, and TIPS, based on existing literature.
  • Updated clinical criteria for PTBD and TACE, and established complexity levels for TIPS.

Conclusions:

  • Categorizing FGIPs by complexity offers a valuable tool for refining dose value analysis and enhancing clinical auditing.
  • This approach facilitates more effective optimization of radiation doses in IR.
  • Incorporating procedure complexity into examination reports enables precise DRL definition.
