By means of a pre-meeting survey, presentations by experts, topical panel discussions and post-meeting feedback to the meeting summary, the meeting identified strengths, common weaknesses and possible solutions and actions for improving radiation protection education and training of health professionals. Available guidelines and resources for radiation protection training were also reviewed. The meeting discussion resulted in a strong consensus for the need of: (a) international guidance on education and training in radiation protection and safety for health professionals, (b) an international description of minimum standards of initial and on...

Research paper thumbnail of Notifications and alerts in patient dose values for computed tomography and fluoroscopy-guided interventional procedures

European Radiology

Recommendations for CT scanners have been published by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine. Some interventional radiology societies as well as national authorities have also published dose notifications for fluoroscopy-guided interventional procedures. Notifications and alerts may also be useful for optimisation and to avoid unintended and accidental exposures. The main interest in using these values for high-dose procedures (CT and interventional) is to optimise imaging procedures, reducing the probability of stochastic effects and avoiding tissue reactions. Alerts in X-ray systems may be considered before procedures (as in CT), during procedures (in some interventional radiology systems), and after procedures, when the patient radiation dose results are known and processed. This review summarises the different uses of notifications and alerts to...

Research paper thumbnail of The cumulative exposure of doses (y axis, left) and corresponding risk (y axis, right) with a standard, radiation-insensitive, diagnostic algorhythm for coronary artery disease

In the x-axis, we listed some common cardiologic examinations with the corresponding doses (1 mSv = 50 chest x-rays). The threshold of 50 mSv of epidemiological evidence is surpassed by a typical cardiologic patient with known or suspected coronary artery disease, in one single hospital admission.

The proper use of the radiation protection quantity “effective dose” to compare doses delivered by different radiological procedures and different imaging modalities with its uncertainties and limitations, is summarised. The estimates of population doses required by the European Directive on Basic Safety Standards is commented on. Referrers and radiologists should be familiar with the dose quantities to inform patients about radiation risks and benefits. The application of effective dose on the cumulative doses from recurrent imaging procedures is also discussed. Patient summary: Basic information on the measurement units (dosimetric quantities) used in medical imaging for reporting radiation doses should be understandable to patients. The Working Group on “Dosimetry for imaging in clinical practice” recommended that a ...

The collected parameters during the survey have been: procedure identification, patient age, gender, weight, height, kerma area product (Pka), cumulative dose at the interventional reference point, number of cine series, total number of frames and fluoroscopy time. These data will also permit the estimation of typical radiological risks of the procedures for different age groups. Preliminary results are being calculated for the following age groups: <1; 1<5; 5<10 and 10<16 years. Kerma area product values and parameters related to imaging protocols of the procedures have been initially obtained from one of the most representative paediatrics centres of Chile. The x-ray system used in this centre was a biplane Siemens Axiom Artis with image intensifiers. The sample contains patients aged between 6 days and < 16 ye...
