Abstract

The article is part of the series of articles on radiation protection. You can find further articles in the special section of the CVIR issue. In addition to the risks from fluoroscopic-guided interventional procedures of tissue injuries, recent studies have drawn attention to the risk of stochastic effects. Guidelines exist for preprocedural planning and radiation management during the procedure. The concept of a substantial radiation dose level (SRDL) is helpful for patient follow-up for tissue injury. The uncommon nature of tissue injuries requires the interventionalist to be responsible for follow-up of patients who receive substantial radiation doses. Dose management systems for recognizing and avoiding higher patient exposures have been introduced. The European Directive provides a legal framework and requirements for equipment, training, dose monitoring, recording and optimization that are helpful in radiation risk management.
