Abstract: (391 Views)
Introduction: Cardiac angiography is one of the diagnostic and therapeutic methods that impose a remarkable dose of X-rays and it can create risks for patients. It is very important to the cardiologist to control the patient's radiation exposure during the angiography. In order to optimize the use of ionization radiation, it is essential to know the average dose received by patients in the angiography department. This study aimed to evaluate the amount of x-rays received in diagnostic and interventional cardiac angiography methods in patients referred to Imam Ali Hospital in Kermanshah.
Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional and prospective study. 260 patients who were candidates for angiography tests during a period of 6 months were examined. The demographic information of the patients was obtained and they were divided into two diagnostic and interventional groups. A comparison was performed in terms of the amount of radiation received by patients and the consumption of contrast material in two groups. Moreover, the comparison was done between different physicians.
Results: There was a significant difference in absorbed dose, DAP and volume of contrast agent between diagnostic angiography and interventional angiography (p<0.05). However, there was not any significant difference in absorbed dose, DAP and volume of contrast agent in diagnostic angiography and interventional angiography for different physicians (p>0.05).
Conclusion: This study generally indicated that absorbed dose, DAP, and the volume of contrast agent in diagnostic angiography was significantly lower than interventional angiography. However, there was not any significant relationship between different physicians in measuring parameters.
