The measurement of quantities related to patient dose for optimisation of protection in
medical imaging with ionising radiation began more than half a century ago. Beginning in …

Purpose: To present the results of a patient dose evaluation program in pediatric cardiology
and propose local diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for different types of procedure and …

Background Radiation can be used effectively for diagnosis and medical treatment, but it
can also cause cancers later on. Children with congenital heart disease frequently undergo …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to present the results of a pilot program on patient
dosimetry carried out in Chile during the last 5 yr, using a biplane x‐ray angiography system …

Objectives It is believed that children are more sensitive to ionising radiation than adults.
This work reviewed the reported radiation dose estimates for paediatric cardiac …

Objective: To evaluate the incidence of cancer within the first 15 years of life in children who
underwent cardiac catheterization under the age of one year. Methods: In this retrospective …

Background There is a paucity of information worldwide on radiation exposure in paediatric
interventional cardiology. At present Nationally established Diagnostic Reference Levels …

Objectives: To estimate risk for exposure-induced cancer death (REID), organ-specific risks
of exposure-induced cancer death (REIDHT) and associated conversion coefficients …

To propose reference values for air-kerma at the reference point (Ka, r), air-kerma area
product (PKA), fluoroscopy time (FT) and number of cine images (CI) for four age groups in …

The present work reports dosimetry data on adult and pediatric patients for some common
radiographic examinations during the standard hospital routine. The measurements are the …
