Abstract

The purpose of this study was to establish procedure-specific air kerma-area product (KAP) and effective dose for a large number of fluoroscopically guided interventional (FGI) procedures. This retrospective study collected dose data for consecutive adult cases from 12 examination rooms between May 2016 and October 2018. A total of 24,911 cases (50.9% men) were categorized by procedure. Effective dose was calculated using KAP and procedure-specific KAP to effective dose conversion coefficients, mostly from National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report 160. Data analysis was conducted with statistical software to determine mean value and five percentiles (10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 95th). KAP and effective dose were presented for 101 procedures; a national benchmark is not available from NCRP Reports 168 and 172 for the KAP value of 89 procedures and for the effective dose of all 101 procedures. Twelve procedures that comprised at least 50% of patient cases had median KAP values less than 3.26 Gy · cm and a median effective dose of less than 0.70 mSv. However, some infrequent procedures might be associated with a higher dose. The 95th percentile of KAP was greater than or equal to 500 Gy · cm for 16 procedures and 985 Gy · cm for portography; for effective dose it was greater than or equal to 100 mSv for 21 procedures and 256 mSv for portography. The values for KAP and effective dose provided in this article can aid in design and review of clinical research protocols and dose management programs and in assessing compliance with the Joint Commission's standards for organizations providing fluoroscopy services in the absence of national benchmarks for more than 89 procedures.
