optimize CT radiation dose without compromising image quality or care in paediatric patients 8 . The age and weight must be taken into account when establishing DRL for paediatric patients owing to large variations in the children’s body size. The association between dose and patient size may be used
The effective doses are typical values for an average sized adult. The actual dose can vary substantially depending on a person’s size as well as on differences in imaging practices. It is also important to note that doses given to pediatric patients will vary significantly from those given to adults since children vary in size.
Sep 16 2014 Diagnostic reference levels are not dose limits. Whereas a dose limit is a dose value that is not to be exceeded a diagnostic reference level can be exceeded if clinical needs demand 4 . Dose limits apply to occupational and public exposure not to exposure of patients medical exposure because limits may compromise patient care.

Dec 01 2015 The concept of reference levels has had a long history in diagnostic imaging 1 1 . In general reference levels provide guidance regarding appropriate or conventional levels of radiation dose to be delivered to patients. In Europe the concept has origins in the 1950s with x ray examination
Reference levels for the patient’s radiation exposure in cardiology Definition of reference level Reference level refers to a predetermined X‐ray radiation dose level that is not presumed to be exceeded in an examination or a procedure performed according to the standards of good practice upon a patient of normal size. Use of reference levels
The diagnostic reference levels for patient radiation dose in pelvis and lumbar spine radiography to be recommended to the medical institutes is arranged by establishing the dose from the patient radiation dose that corresponds to the 3rd quartile values as the appropriate diagnostic reference level for patient radiation dose.
high doses of ionizing radiation given at a fast rate seconds to minutes causes damage to living tissue that may not be repaired. Depending on the total dose high dose rate exposure can result in higher risk of cancer over a lifetime radiation sickness or even death. Humans differ by age gender genetic predisposition state of health
Introduction. First introduced for diagnostic radiologic examinations in the 1990s 1 –3 reference levels are a quality assurance and quality improvement tool for controlling radiation dose.They are intended to be a reasonable indication of dose for average size patients and to provide guidance on what is achievable with current good practice rather than optimum performance .
DRL as a level used in medical imaging to indicate whether in routine conditions the dose to the patient or the amount of radiopharmaceuticals administered in a specified radiological procedure for medical imaging is unusually high or unusually low for that procedure. Diagnostic reference levels DRLs are a practical tool to promote optimization.
evidence of radiation causing harm at the levels patients receive from diagnostic x ray exams. Although high doses of radiation are linked to an increased risk of cancer the eff ects of low doses of radiation used in diagnostic imaging are either nonexistent or too small to observe.
Jun 01 2012 The national patient dose database NPDD acquires data from the whole of the UK relating to radiation to patients from general x ray fluoroscopic and dental x ray examinations. HPA CRCE 034 is
Dec 08 2020 Revision History. It is necessary for your qualified medical physicist to perform CTDI testing on every CT unit at your facility. Using these CTDI measurements your physicist will be able to calculate various descriptors of dose for your adult head pediatric head 1 year old pediatric abdomen 5 year old 40 lbs. and adult abdomen examinations depending on the

Mar 06 2014 Local diagnostic reference levels LDRLs have been proposed with respect to the missing DRLs for the K a r KAP and fluoroscopy time. The majority of the examinations in the study were performed with longer fluoroscopy time patient dose values per examination type were found to be broad and the mean values above the international diagnostic
Reference levels One of the main guidelines to be followed in imaging di agnosis is to try to achieve a reliable image of an adequate quality for a proper diagnosis but applying the lowest radia tion dose to the patient. For this reason it is important to
Concerns about safety particularly patient exposure to medical radiation are increasing across the globe. Growing medical imaging procedures and a rising complexity of exams under image guidance have triggered new guidelines for radiation dose. USA provide recommendations 1 on reference dose levels in terms of CTDI vol and DLP.
