IVRの患者被ばく防護

抄録

Recent technological innovations in interventional radiology (IVR) might produce better image quality with lower radiation doses; however, the widespread use of increasingly complex IVR procedures may still result in significant radiation exposure to both the patient and operator. In this article, we present recommended guidelines, measurement of patients’ radiation dose and previous reports regarding patients’ radiation dose in recent IVR procedures including our dose reduction trial during DEB-TACE for HCC to obtain and refresh the information needed to understand the importance of dose reduction trial and the risks of recent IVR procedures.
