Trends in Professional Radiation Exposures of Medical Staff Covered by Personal Dose Monitoring at a Rijeka Clinical Hospital Centre (2000 to 2015).
Health Physics 2020 October 21
The increase in the number of radiological procedures observed in recent years also means greater exposure to ionizing radiation for the medical staff performing these procedures. This is most pronounced in the teams that perform interventional and invasive radiological procedures. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of increasing numbers of radiological procedures on the effective dose received by medical staff and to determine which professions received the highest exposure to ionizing radiation. Data for effective doses of 326 employees of Rijeka Clinical Hospital Centre covered by personal dosimetry in the period from 2000 to 2015 have been analyzed. Employees were divided by sex, by departments in which they were employed, and according to their professions. The analysis has shown that the exposure level of workers working in the ionizing radiation zone is typically well below the dose limits. During 2015, most employees (over 96.3%) received an annual effective dose of less than 0.1 mSv. Only three persons received an annual dose higher than 0.5 mSv, and one person received an annual dose of 6.9 mSv. Comparison of the radiation exposure doses of medical workers of different professions has shown that the highest dose of radiation is received by cardiologists involved in interventional cardiology procedures. Therefore, the additional need is to take care of their protection, check the manner of their work, and ensure more even workload of cardiologists participating in procedures that involve higher exposure to ionizing radiation.
