Abstract:
Objective To investigate the radiation doses for the patients undergoing interventional radiology and to analyze the dose - influencing factors.MethodsThe clinical data of 461 patients undergoing interventional radiology,including cerebral angiography ( CEA ),cerebral aneurysm embolism ( CAE ),superselective hepatic arterial chemoembolization ( SHAG ),coronary angiography ( COA ),percutaneous intracoronary stent implantation ( PIS1 ),cardiac radiofrequency catheter ablation ( RFCA ),and permanent cardiac pacemaker implantation(PCPI) were collected to observe the cumulative air kerma (CAK),dose area product (DAP),and fluoroscopy time,and effective dose was estimated using the conversion factors.Results The effective doses for CEA,CAE,SHAG,COA,PISI,RFCA,and PCPI were (0.33 ±0.20),(0.49 ±0.35),(6.92 ±4.19),(0.76 ±0.91),(2.35 ± 1.47),(0.50 ±0.74),and (0.67 ±0.70) Sv,respectively.In 126 of the 416 patients (26%),the effective doses were greater than 1 Sv,and the effective doses of 10 person-times were greater than 10 Sv,all of which were observed in the patients undergoing SHAG.The CAK values for CEA,CAE,SHAG,COA,PISI,RFCA,and PCPIwere (0.55 ±0.43),(1.34 ± 1.11),(0.95 ±0.57),(0.32 ±0.31),(0.91 ±0.33),(0.16 ±0.22),and (0.15 ±0.14) Gy,respectively.The CAK values were greater than 1 Gy in 59 of the 461 patients ( 12.8% ),greater than 2 Gy in 11 cases (2.4%) ,and greater than 3 Gy in 1 CEA cases and 1 CEA case,respectively.Conclusions There is a wide variation range in radiation dose for different procedures.As most interventional radiology procedure can result in clinically significant radiation dose to the patient,stricter dose control should be carried out.
