Establishment of CT diagnostic reference levels in Ireland [PDF]

The British Journal of Radiology, 2012
To propose Irish CT diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) by collecting radiation doses for the most commonly performed CT examinations.A pilot study investigated the most frequent CT examinations. 40 CT sites were then asked to complete a survey booklet to allow the recording of CT parameters for each of 9 CT examinations during a 12-week period.

DETERMINATION OF LOCAL DIAGNOSTIC REFERENCE LEVEL (LDL) PEDIATRIC PATIENTS ON CT HEAD EXAMINATION BASED ON SIZE-SPECIFIC DOSE ESTIMATES (SSDE) VALUES

Journal of Vocational Health Studies, 2019
Background: CT Scan provides the biggest contribution in receiving radiation doses in patients. Especially in pediatric patients or children. Local DRL (Diagnostic Reference Level) is an effort to optimize radiation for patients in every health facility.

A practical guide for paediatric diagnostic reference levels (PiDRLs) [PDF]

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences, 2022
This guide was designed to provide a foundation for developing paediatric diagnostic reference levels (PiDRLs) for conventional radiography. In principle, the calculation of diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) is recommended for diagnostic x-ray imaging examinations for radiosensitive patients, such as paediatric patients.

Diagnostic reference levels for paediatric CT in Jordan

Journal of Radiological Protection, 2019
This study aimed to investigate the current status of Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs) in paediatric CT across Jordan. The dose data for four main CT examinations (brain, chest, abdominopelvic, and chest, abdomen and pelvis (CAP)) in hospitals and imaging centres (n = 4) were measured.

Variabilities in X-ray diagnostic reference levels

European Radiology, 2020
To estimate the variability of X-ray diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) depending on the number of X-ray devices and data per device.Dose-area products (DAP) were collected by the national nuclear control agency from the 590 devices installed in 345 medical centers in the country. From 2015 to 2017, the number of chest (postero-anterior (PA) view alone,
