MEASURED RADIATION DOSES IN THE CARDIOLOGICAL LABORATORYIN CORRELATIONWITH OPERATOR EXPIRIENCE

CILJ: Cilj ovog istraživanja je usporediti doze zračenja s obzirom na vrstu pretrage te rezultata korelirati s iskustvom operatera. Cilj rada je također usporediti doze zračenja pojedinih operatera u korelaciji s procedurom i postupkom kod pojedinih vrsta pretrage. Isto tako cilj ovog rada je utvrditi razlike u dozi zračenja kod pojedinih operatera u odnosu na vrstu zaštite koju koriste tijekom izvođenja istovrsnih pretraga. METODE: Sudjelovalo je 112 pacijenata od kojih je 61 pacijent kod kojeg je napravljena dijagnostika te 51 pacijent gdje je rađena intervencija na krvnim žilama. Kod 91 pacijenta je zaštita korištena u punom obimu, a kod 21 pacijenta je korištena samo mala zaštita bez velikog paravana. Može se navesti da je u istraživanju sudjelovalo 12 operatera od kojih 7 spada u kategoriju iskusnih operatera koji su napravili 74 postupka, a u 5 kategoriju manje iskusnih odnosno neiskusnih koji su napravili 38 postupaka. REZULTATI: Provedenim istraživanjem nije potvrđena statistički značajna razlika u dozi zračenja s obzirom na vrstu pretrage i iskustvo operatera. Nakon dobivenih rezultata nije statistički potvrđena razlika u dozi zračenja kod pojedinih operatera u odnosu na vrstu zaštite koju koriste tijekom izvođenja istovrsnih pretraga. ZAKLJUČAK: Dobiveni rezultati isključivo ovise o anatomiji pacijenta i korištenim materijalima.OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to compare radiation doses with respect to the type of examination and to correlate the results with the experience of the operator. The aim of this paper is also to compare the radiation doses of individual operators in correlation with the procedure and procedure for individual types of search. Also, the aim of this paper is to determine the difference in the radiation dose of individual operators in relation to the type of protection they use during the performance of similar tests. METHODS: There were 112 patients, of whom 61 were diagnosed and 51 were vascular intervention. In 91 patients the protection was used in full and in 21 patients only a small protection without a large screen was used. It can be stated that 12 operators participated in the research, of which 7 belong to the category of experienced operators who performed 74 procedures and 5 to the category of less experienced or inexperienced who performed 38 procedures. RESULTS: The conducted research did not confirm a statistically significant difference in the radiation dose with regard to the type of examination and the experience of the operator. After the obtained results, there were no statistically confirmed differences in the radiation dose of individual operators in relation to the type of protection they use during the performance of similar test. CONCLUSIONS: The results obtained depend solely on the anatomy of the patient and the materials used
