Abstract:This study aimed to evaluate the radiation doses (peak skin dose (PSD) and bilateral lens dose) for each interventional neuroradiology procedure. A direct measurement system consisting of small radiophotoluminescence glass dosimeter chips and a dosimetry cap made of thin stretchable polyester was used for radiation dosimetry. The mean PSDs for each procedure were 1565 ± 590 mGy (simple technique coil embolization (STCE) cases), 1851 ± 825 mGy (balloon-assisted coil embolization (BACE) cases), 2583 ± 967 mGy (s… Show more
