Contemporary Interventional Radiology Dosimetry: Analysis of 4,784 Discrete Procedures at a Single Institution.
Journal of the American College of Radiology : JACR 2018 September
PURPOSE: To report dosimetry of commonly performed interventional radiology procedures and compare dose analogues to known reference levels.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Demographic and dosimetry data were collected for gastrostomy, nephrostomy, peripherally inserted central catheter placement, visceral arteriography, hepatic chemoembolization, tunneled catheter placement, inferior vena cava filter placement, vascular embolization, transjugular liver biopsy, adrenal vein sampling, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation, and biliary drainage between June 12, 2014, and April 26, 2018, using integrated dosimetry software. In all, 4,784 procedures were analyzed. The study included 2,691 (56.2%) male subjects and 2,093 (43.8%) female subjects with mean age 55 ± 21 years (range: 0-104 years) and with mean weight of 76.9 ± 29.4 kg (range: 0.9-268.1 kg). Fluoroscopy time, dose area product (DAP), and reference dose were evaluated.
RESULTS: TIPS had the highest mean fluoroscopy time (49.1 ± 16.0 min) followed by vascular embolization (25.2 ± 11.4 min), hepatic chemoembolization (18.8 ± 12.5 min), and visceral arteriography (17.7 ± 3.2 min). TIPS had the highest mean DAP (429.2 ± 244.8 grays per square centimeter [Gy·· cm2 ]) followed by hepatic chemoembolization (354.6 ± 78.6 Gy·· cm2 ), visceral arteriography (309.5 ± 39.0 Gy·· cm2 ), and vascular embolization (298.5 ± 29 Gy·· cm2 ). TIPS was associated with the highest mean reference dose (2.002 ± 1.420 Gy) followed by hepatic chemoembolization (1.746 ± 0.435 Gy), vascular embolization (1.615 ± 0.381 Gy), and visceral arteriography (1.558 ± 1.720 Gy). Of the six procedures available for comparison with the reference levels, the mean fluoroscopy time, DAP, and reference dose for each procedure were below the proposed reference levels.
CONCLUSION: Advances in image acquisition technology and radiation safety protocols have significantly reduced the radiation exposure for a variety of interventional radiology procedures.
