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,

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.
