Current status of diagnostic reference levels in interventional cardiology
Journal of Radiological Protection, 2022Interventional cardiology provides indisputable benefits for patients but uses a substantial amount of ionising radiation. The diagnostic reference level (DRL) is the tool recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection to optimise

Diagnostic reference levels in interventional radiology
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2000Following the release of European Directive EU 97/43, radiodiagnostic facilities within the European Union are required to implement a system of patient dose reviews based on comparisons with European, national and local diagnostic reference levels (DRLs). Establishing these levels for typical interventional radiology examinations presents a problem as

2021 NATIONAL DIAGNOSTIC REFERENCE LEVELS FOR PAEDIATRIC COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN EGYPT.
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2022OBJECTIVE To establish national diagnostic reference levels (NDRLs) for most common paediatric computed tomography (CT) examinations in Egypt. METHODS This was a prospective study that included all dedicated paediatric imaging centers in Egypt.

Mammography diagnostic reference levels in Western Australia
Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine, 2020Mammography dose data has been collected from Western Australian units to establish Diagnostic Reference Levels for the state. Reference levels have been determined for a variety of phantom thicknesses for both full field digital mammography units and digital breast tomosynthesis units.

The growing potential of diagnostic reference levels as a dynamic tool for dose optimization.
Physica medica (Testo stampato), 2021Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs) is an important tool that can improve radiation safety in medical imaging. However, there are certain aspects that need improvement and several obstacles that should be overcome before DRLs are fully implemented in ...

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 ...

A contribution to the establishment of diagnostic reference levels in CT
The British Journal of Radiology, 2003CT has become the major source of population exposure to diagnostic X-rays. CT dose index (CTDI) and dose-length product (DLP) have been proposed as the appropriate dose quantities for the establishment of diagnostic reference levels for optimizing patient exposure.

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 ...

Provision of Italian diagnostic reference levels for diagnostic and interventional radiology
La radiologia medica, 2020The diagnostic reference level (DRL) is a useful tool for the optimisation of medical exposures. Thus, a Working Party coordinated by the Italian National Institute of Health and the National Workers Compensation Authority has been formed to provide Italian DRLs, for both diagnostic and interventional procedures, to be used as appropriate for the ...
