2015年6月1日 · NCRP Report No. 168, Radiation Dose Management for Fluoroscopically-Guided Interventional Medical Procedures, provides recommendations and supporting information on radiation dose management for patients and medical staff during the use of fluoroscopic systems for guiding diagnostic and therapeutic medical procedures.

AAPM has contracted with NCRP to provide each AAPM Member in good standing access and download privileges of electronically available NCRP reports, commentaries and statements. This report was prepared by the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).

This Report is focused on the use of fluoroscopic systems as a tool for guiding diagnostic and therapeutic procedures because higher radiation doses (compared to conventional radiography and fluoroscopy) are received regularly from some types of FGI procedures and occasionally from many other types of FGI procedures.

2022年2月17日 · NCRP Report No. 168 suggests classifying procedures as “potentially high radiation dose procedures” if more than 5% of procedures result in Ka,r exceeding 3 Gy. 1 Obtaining a radiation consent for only a subset of procedures removes a clinical step prior to procedures where tissue effects are highly unlikely.

Conventional radiography in medicine is preferred for the acquisition of static images (e.g., chest radiography). Medical fluo-roscopy is normally reserved for the observation of moving objects. Fluoroscopes have two main modes of operation: a few seconds at …

2012年9月4日 · However, according to another NCRP report (160), interventional procedures now account for nearly 14% of the collective dose to the US population from among the various medical x-ray procedures and therefore warrants ways to optimize and manage radiation doses.

NCRP 168: its significance to fluoroscopically guided interventional procedures

NCRP Report No. 168 examines FGI procedures in terms of 5 main aspects: general information, fluoroscopic equipment and facilities, protection of patients, protection of staff members, and regulatory and administrative consideration [2].
