The present work reports data of the radiation exposure to the patient in various diagnostic and therapeutic interventional radiological (IR) procedures. The study includes 260 diagnostic and 195 therapeutic exposure data in 455 IR procedures. All the IR procedures were performed on a biplane angiographic machine in a tertiary care hospital. The radiation exposure was estimated from dose-area product (DAP), fluoroscopy time (FT), number of fluoroscopic runs, number of images and cumulative dose (CD) value recorded during the procedure. The data reported in the present study show significant variability in DAP values in diagnostic and therapeutic IR procedures. In diagnostic procedures, the minimum median DAP value is 8.93 Gy cm2 for upper limb angiography with mean FT of 2.7 min and maximum DAP value is 108.8 Gy cm2 for inferior vena cava angiography with mean FT of 12.55 min. For therapeutic procedures, the median value of DAP ranges from 2.43 Gy cm2 for sclerotherapy with mean FT 0.65 min to 267.23 Gy cm2 for coiling of cerebral aneurysm with mean FT of 60.52 min. The DAP value for each procedure was also correlated with FT, number of fluoroscopic runs, number of images and CD. The reported DAP values in this study are within the range of earlier published results which suggest that our finding provides at least approximate applicability to other hospitals. The third quartile DAP values of the procedures having significant number of patient data (n ≥ 10) serves as provisional reference values for the optimization of procedure protocols.
