Monitoring neurointerventional radiation doses using dose-tracking software: implications for the establishment of local diagnostic reference levels

There is potential for high radiation exposure during neurointerventional procedures. Increasing regulatory requirements mandate dose monitoring of patients and staff, and justification of high levels of radiation exposure. This paper demonstrates the potential to use radiation dose-tracking software to establish local diagnostic reference levels. Consecutive neurointerventional procedures, performed in a single institution within a one-year...
