1 Why radiation protection matters? Elias Brountzos Professor of Radiology 2 nd Department of Radiology Medical School, University of Athens Athens, Greece
2 A definition for radiation protection Radiation Protection is a combination of rules, requirements, guidelines, technologies, operations and behaviors for the protection of people (occupational, patients, public) and environment against the harmful effects of ionizing radiation.
3 The aim of radiation protection o Minimize patient radiation exposure to ionizing radiation without sacrificing the diagnostic information or the therapeutic effect o Ensure protection of health professionals and general public
4 The principles of radiation protection o Justification of practices: Any decision that alters the radiation exposure situation should do more good than harm o Optimization of protection: All exposures should be kept as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) o Limitation of exposure: The total dose to any individual should not exceed the dose limits recommended by the ICRP ICRP , The 2007 recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection
5 Dose Limits Equivalent Dose (msv/yr) Occupational 20 Public Lens of eye Skin Hands/Feet Effective dose 20 1!!! Dose Limits are not applicable to patients International Commission on Radiological Protection 2011 Statement on tissue reactions ICRP , April 2011
6 Harmful effects of ionizing radiation Increased frequency of X-ray examinations High radiation doses
7 Harmful effects of ionizing radiation o Stochastic effects The probability of occurrence increases with increasing absorbed dose The severity of the response is not proportional to the dose No threshold dose Cancer, genetic effects o Deterministic effects Occur only after high dose exposure (> 0.1 Gy) The severity increases with absorbed dose Have a dose threshold Skin lesions, fibrosis, erythema, cataracts
8 Harmful effects of ionizing radiation (a) NCI skin toxicity grade 4. (a) Central area of deep necrosis surrounded by indurated and depigmented skin within an area of prolonged erythema at 30 weeks after coronary angioplasty (b) Same patient 38 weeks after the procedure. (b) Balter et al Fluoroscopically Guided Interventional Procedures: A Review of Radiation Effects on Patients Skin and Hair
9 Harmful effects of ionizing radiation Radiation injury in a 60- year-old woman from neurointerventional procedure for the treatment of acute stroke. Fluoroscopy time > 70 min. Balter et al Fluoroscopically Guided Interventional Procedures: A Review of Radiation Effects on Patients Skin and Hair
10 Harmful effects of ionizing radiation Radio-induced crystalline lens opacity in an interventional radiologist submitted to high levels of radiation using an X-ray tube above the table. Region 1 indicates posterior subcapsular opacity; Region 2, perinuclear punctate opacities. Vano et al Lens Injuries induced by occupational exposure in non-optimized interventional radiology laboratories.
11 Frequency of X-ray examinations Examination No of examinations Conventional Radiology , ,000 CT 1.387, ,000 Interventional (non-ct) 247, , % + 78% Hart et al. Frequency and collective dose for medical and dental X-ray examinations in the UK, Health Protection Agency. HPA- CRCE-012 (2010).
12 Radiation doses Why radiation protection is important? o New techniques and applications (MDCT, CT biopsy ) delivers high radiation doses o In interventional procedures (IR), both patients and medical staff receive high radiation doses: complicated procedures high fluoroscopy times acquisition of large number of images high dose rates
13 Patient radiation doses Mean effective dose (msv) Interventional Procedures Exam Mettler et al Effective Doses in Radiology and Diagnostic Nuclear Medicine: A Catalog.
14 Occupational radiation doses-distribution Data from the Hellenic Record of Radiation Doses, Greek Atomic Energy Commission, 2011
15 Occupational radiation doses Fluoroscopically-guided procedures Cardiac Non-cardiac Effective dose per procedure (μsv) Diagnostic catheterization PCI Ablations PCNL Vertebroplasty Biliary tract procedures TIPS ERCP Kim et al Occupational radiation doses to operators performing cardiac catheterization Kim et al Occupational radiation doses to operators performing fluoroscopically-guided procedures
16 Conclusion Radiation protection. o Constitutes a very important issue for the safety of occupational, patients and public in every Radiology Department o Requires education and training of health care workers as well availability of appropriate protection tools and equipment (shielding, personal protective devices) o Should be an integral part of clinical routine
