Materials and Methods
Patient radiation exposure, in terms of the kerma area product (KAP; Gy ∙ cm2), was measured in period 1 with a patient dose monitoring system, and a real-time occupational dose monitoring system was additionally applied in period 2. Mean/median KAP in 19 different types of FGIs was analyzed in both periods for two experienced interventional radiologists combined as well as individually. Patient dose and occupational dose were correlated, applying Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients.
Results
Although FGIs were similar in numbers and types over both periods, a substantial decrease was found for period 2 in total mean ± SD/median KAP for both operators together (period 1, 47 Gy ∙ cm2 ± 67/41 Gy ∙ cm2; period 2, 37 Gy ∙ cm2 ± 69/34 Gy ∙ cm2) as well as for each individual operator (for all, P < .05). Overall, KAP declined considerably in 15 of 19 types of FGIs in period 2. Mean accumulated dose per intervention was 4.6 µSv, and mean dose rate was 0.24 mSv/h. There was a strong positive correlation between patient and occupational dose (r = 0.88).
Conclusions
Combined use of a patient dose monitoring system and a real-time occupational dose monitoring system in FGIs significantly lessens patient and operator doses.
