Abstract:
Objective To determine the real time radiation dose rate displayed on DSA equipment in interventional management for patients with coronary heart disease in order to provide medical staff with useful basis to reasonably control the radiation dose. Methods A total of 30 patients with coronary heart disease, who received interventional treatment at authors’ hospital in September 2014 with a GE DSA unit, were randomly selected. Intraoperative radiation dose rates when fluoroscopy was converted to movies , which were displayed on DSA at respective sequence, were determined, and the results were analyzed and compared. Results The fluoroscopy radiation dose rate ranged from 18.5 to 212.0 mGy/min, the mean value was (114.7±42.1) mGy/min;while the radiation dose rate of movies varied from 216 to 1 691 mGy/min, with a mean value of(970.1±298.4) mGy/min. The overall mean fluoroscopy-to-movies radiation dose ratio was 1 ∶8.5. The larger the digital flat panel detector area was , the bigger the mean radiation dose rate would be and the more obvious increase in the mean radiation dose rate of movies than that of the fluoroscopy would be observed; the mean radiation dose rate of fluoroscopy was lower than that of movies , and the difference was significantly. Conclusion During the performance of coronary intervention , the medical staff should make reasonable choice of the equipment and closely observe the dynamic real-time display of the radiation dose rate, promptly adjust the inspection mode and the controllable parameters when it is needed , make immediate evaluation of dose level that might cause radiation injury to the patient , and reasonably control the radiation dose to reduce the effects of ionizing radiation on human health.
