The results of this study showed that
- real-time dosimetry can be seamlessly integrated into routine clinical practice, allowing live monitoring of the radiation exposure of the medical staff as well as the individual analysis of the dose accumulated over an intervention for each staff member,
- the total accumulated dose for the intervention team depends on the type of intervention, with general radiological angiographies having the highest collective radiation exposure (but not the highest exposure for each individual role),
- radiation exposure exhibits substantial variations among medical personnel based on their professional role, with the interventionalist receiving a significantly higher dose than the rest of the team across all interventions,
- the median dose for a professional role can have an unexpectedly high values for certain types of interventions, potentially indicating procedures that are suboptimal in terms of radiation protection and contribute to a systematic increase in radiation exposure.
These findings underscore the potential for real-time dosimetry to be integrated as a standard component of radiation safety strategies in interventional radiology. It can enable more targeted radiation protection measures and help optimize procedures to minimize radiation exposure, without disrupting workflow efficiency.
