A local diagnostic reference level for velopharyngeal investigations
The British Journal of Radiology, 2005The purpose of this study was to derive an initial local diagnostic reference level for velopharyngeal investigations carried out as standard radiological practice in the Medical Imaging Department, Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead. This is a specialist video-fluoroscopic radiological technique used to evaluate velopharyngeal dysfunction ...

Diagnostic reference levels for mammography in BreastScreen Queensland
Australasian Physical & Engineering Sciences in Medicine, 2011Diagnostic reference levels assist in the optimisation of radiation exposure parameters within a medical imaging facility. As no Australian DRLs currently exist, radiation doses from mammography in BreastScreen Queensland are analysed. Program-based DRLs of 1.1 and 1.4 mGy are proposed for digital radiography and computed radiography mammography ...

Diagnostic reference levels in pediatric radiology in Austria
European Radiology, 2010Because of the higher sensitivity to radiation in children, optimization plays an essential role in pediatric radiology. Diagnostic reference levels are a helpful tool to optimize patient dose for standard radiographic procedures.A nationwide survey was conducted to determine doses and variation in average dose applied to children for standard X-ray ...

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

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.

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...

Diagnostic reference levels in Dutch clinical practice
Physica Medica, 2016Introduction In the Netherlands Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs) have been set for 11 radiological examinations in 2012. The values of these DRLs were chosen on the basis of available scientific literature and expert judgment. Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the level of adaptation of the current DRLs by Dutch hospitals and to

345. Italian diagnostic reference levels for diagnostic and interventional radiology
Physica Medica, 2018Purpose The Diagnostic reference level (DRL) is recognised as an important tool in identifying high and non-justified exposure levels in diagnostic imaging practice and, in general, in the optimisation practice of patient exposure. In Italy, the D.Lgs.
