Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the occupational radiation exposure of staff during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), with a focus on individuals closest to the radiation source, and to identify potential increases in exposure to hands and eye lenses. Patient radiation exposure during ERCP was also assessed.

Materials and methods: Staff organ doses were monitored using a Philips Allura Xper FD 20 fluoroscopy system, during 24 ERCP procedures for a period of 7 months. Staff doses were measured using thermoluminescence dosemeters and electronic personal dosemeters, and patient effective doses were simulated and calculated.

Results: Physicians' annual organ doses ranged from 0.2 to 1.6 mSv for shoulders, 0.1 to 0.4 mSv for eye lenses, and 0.3 to 1.6 mSv for fingers. The annual organ dose of the nursing staff ranged from 0.08 to 2.4 mSv for shoulders, 0.02 to 2.3 mSv for eye lenses, and 1.2 to 5.3 mSv for fingers. The effective dose to patients ranged from 0.009 to 0.46 mSv.

Conclusion: Staff doses were within safe limits, but patient doses were high, emphasizing the need for improved radiation protection.

期刊介绍： Radiation Protection Dosimetry covers all aspects of personal and environmental dosimetry and monitoring, for both ionising and non-ionising radiations. This includes biological aspects, physical concepts, biophysical dosimetry, external and internal personal dosimetry and monitoring, environmental and workplace monitoring, accident dosimetry, and dosimetry related to the protection of patients. Particular emphasis is placed on papers covering the fundamentals of dosimetry; units, radiation quantities and conversion factors. Papers covering archaeological dating are included only if the fundamental measurement method or technique, such as thermoluminescence, has direct application to personal dosimetry measurements. Papers covering the dosimetric aspects of radon or other naturally occurring radioactive materials and low level radiation are included. Animal experiments and ecological sample measurements are not included unless there is a significant relevant content reason.
