Optimising Radiation Dose Estimation: UNSCEAR DAP‐to‐ED Conversion in Uterine Artery Embolisation
Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.This study uses the conversion factors from the ‘UNSCEAR Global Survey on Medical Exposure: A User Manual’ to estimate radiation dose exposure for patients undergoing uterine artery embolisation. Estimating the effective dose provides interventional radiologists and interventional radiographers a better understanding of the stochastic risks associated ...
