Unsolved or unsolvable problems with diagnostic reference levels
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2005Diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for X-ray examinations have been introduced in many countries, among others in most European countries, as a consequence of the Directive on Medical Exposures from 1997. The concept seems to be straight forward, but when implementing it into practice a number of problems arise.

Diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) are a tool for optimization of radiation dose in medical imaging. DRLs permit comparison of radiological practices among facilities. DRLs are a quality assurance and quality improvement tool, used as part of a systematic method to evaluate local practice and to help determine when investigation into facility practices

ESTIMATION OF DIAGNOSTIC REFERENCE LEVELS FOR CT CORONAROGRAPHY IN SLOVAKIA
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2018The coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is a frequent diagnostic method connected with large variability of effective dose. Therefore, it is the type of examination where optimization is very important and the use of a national diagnostic reference level (DRL) recommended. In Slovakia the DRL for interventional radiology examinations until now fails.

Evolution of diagnostic reference levels in Spanish intraoral radiology
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2012A total of 16 175 official reports of quality assurance on dental radiodiagnostic surgeries from 16 Spanish autonomous regions compiled during 2002-09 were studied to determine the evolution of diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for obtaining a diagnostic image in the normal conditions of clinical practice in Spanish dental clinics.

Diagnostic reference levels in digital mammography: a systematic review
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2014This study aims to review the literature on existing diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) in digital mammography and methodologies for establishing them. To this end, a systematic search through Medline, Cinahl, Web of Science, Scopus and Google scholar was conducted using search terms extracted from three terms: DRLs, digital mammography and breast ...

Clinical Diagnostic Reference Levels for Europe
2018Background/introduction: Different image qualities are needed for different clinical indications of the same anatomical area. A kidney stone evaluation, for example, can be performed using a lower radiation dose than it would be required for an evaluation of...
