Actualization of methodology of diagnostic reference levels establishment for interventional radiological procedures

Радиационная гигиена, 2023
Interventional procedures are accompanied with high levels of patient exposure and even with the possibility of radiation skin damage. That’s why any actions leading to reduction of patients’ exposure levels are of utmost importance.

Diagnostic reference levels for paediatric CT in Jordan [PDF]

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.

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.

Assessment of diagnostic reference levels awareness and knowledge amongst CT radiographers

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2021
Background Reports indicated that numerous factors, including inadequate personnel knowledge, contributes to insufficient patient data for setting up diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) in developing countries. This study aims to evaluate the knowledge of

Local Diagnostic Reference Levels for Paediatric Head CT Procedures

Acta Medica Lituanica, 2021
Background. Patients, especially children, are exposed to substantially high doses of ionising radiation during computed tomography (CT) procedures. Children are several times more susceptible to ionising radiation than adults.

Current practices and perceptions on diagnostic reference levels: a EuroSafe Imaging Survey Analysis [PDF]

Insights into Imaging
Despite progress in implementing diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) across Europe, clinical practices remain variable. This prompts the EuroSafe Imaging campaign to conduct a survey assessing current practices, perceptions, and challenges related to DRLs.
