Audit of radiation dose to patients during coronary angiography.
BACKGROUND There is widespread concern about radiation doses imparted to patients during cardiology procedures in the medical community. The current study intends to audit and optimize radiation dose to patients undergoing coronary angiography (CA) performed using two dedicated cardiovascular machines. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and forty nine patients who underwent CA are reported in ...
متن کاملReal-time skin dose Radiation Monitoring during Coronary Angiography
The collective dose of radiation used in medical investigations and procedures has increased by greater than 700% between 1980 and 2006 [1]. Consequently the use of ionizing radiation has developed into an important, yet potentially avoidable, public health threat [2] that deserves considerable attention. This is particularly the case in adult cardiology patients where coronary angiography repr...
متن کاملReal-time colour pictorial radiation monitoring during coronary angiography: effect on patient peak skin and total dose during coronary angiography.
AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate whether a real-time (RT) colour pictorial radiation dose monitoring system reduces patient skin and total radiation dose during coronary angiography and intervention. METHODS AND RESULTS Patient demographics, procedural variables and radiation parameters were recorded before and after institution of the RT skin dose recording system. Peak skin dose a...
متن کاملBreast Radiation Protection in Coronary Angiography
Introduction: Coronary angiography (CA) is an interventional diagnostic procedure to assess cardiovascular disease. CA is performed using dedicated fluoroscopic systems equipped with either flat detector or image intensifier. There is an increase in the number of CA annually. Reducing the radiation exposure in the CA is essential, especially due to high fluoroscopy time. In ord...
متن کاملStaff dose assessment from coronary angiography
Background: Interventional cardiology procedures such as coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous transluminal coronary angiography (PTCA) has been increased recent years. The purpose of this study was to measurement of effective dose to cardiology staffs who operate near the patient and are exposed to non-uniform radiation field due to patient scattered radiation. Materials and Methods: This...
