Abstract

Several studies have revealed that interventional radiography procedures performed in cardiology departments are high dose techniques. In this study, effective dose of cardiologists working in hospitals Catheterisation Laboratories (CATHLABs) in Mashhad city have been measured during Coronary Angiography (CA) and Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) procedures. In order to measure the dose per procedure and to estimate monthly effective dose of cardiologists, Electronic Personal Dosimeters (EPDs) were worn by 33 cardiologists over the apron on the collar. Mean effective dose of cardiologists per procedure was equal to 2.7 μSv (range: 0.3–14.3 μSv) for CA and 6.4 μSv (range: 1.3–27.5 μSv) for PTCA procedures. Mean monthly effective dose in cardiologists was equal to 158.3 μSv (range: 8.3–1050 μSv). According to the data obtained in this study the effective dose estimated for all cardiologists was lower than the monthly limits recommended by International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP).

马什哈德CATHLABs介入放射造影中心脏病专家职业辐射暴露的评价

几项研究表明，在心脏病科进行的介入x线摄影是高剂量技术。在这项研究中，在马什哈德市医院导管实验室(CATHLABs)工作的心脏病专家在冠状动脉造影(CA)和经皮腔内冠状动脉成形术(PTCA)过程中测量了有效剂量。为了测量每次手术的剂量和估计心脏病医生每月的有效剂量，33名心脏病医生在衣领上的围裙上佩戴了电子个人剂量计(EPDs)。心脏病专家每次手术的平均有效剂量为CA手术2.7 μSv(范围:0.3-14.3 μSv)， PTCA手术6.4 μSv(范围:1.3-27.5 μSv)。心脏科医师的月平均有效剂量为158.3 μSv(范围8.3-1050 μSv)。根据本研究获得的数据，估计所有心脏病专家的有效剂量低于国际放射防护委员会(ICRP)建议的每月剂量限值。
