Abstract

|
|
|
Goal of this study was to measure effective radiation dose of highly exposed patients who were treated by TACE, interventional radiology from June to September 2010. The effective radiation dose was approximately measured by weighted DAP (dose area product) with the ionization chamber which is inserted in angiography equiment (Philips Allura Xper FD 20). Radiation dose was measured by TLD which was attached to patients’ thyroid and genital gland. The average of ED (effective dose) was 18.436.63 mSv per person and the average of radiation dose of thyroid and genital gland was 0.37 mSv, 0.77 mSv, respectively. The mean radiation dose of operators who wear the protector was 0.07 mSv for thyroid, and 0.01 mSv for genital gland, respectively. All staffs involved in TACE treatment, have to keep them aware and use the appropriate protectors to reduce the radiation dose of patient.
