TL;DR: A comprehensive review of best practices and methods to estimate peak skin dose found in the scientific literature and situates the importance of the Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) standard detailing pertinent information contained in the Radiation Dose Structured Report (RDSR) and DICOM image headers for FGI devices is provided in this article.

Institutional Diagnostic Reference Levels and Peak Skin Doses in selected diagnostic and therapeutic interventional radiology procedures.
Emmanouil Papanastasiou,Athanasios Protopsaltis,Stefanos Finitsis,Adam Hatzidakis,Panos Prassopoulos,Anastasios Siountas +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported that the peak skin dose can be deduced with reasonable accuracy from values of air kerma at the patient entrance reference point (Ka,r), fluoroscopy time (FT) and number of images (NI) as well as estimates of peak skin Dose (PSD) for 142 patients.

Validation of the MC-GPU Monte Carlo code against the PENELOPE/penEasy code system and benchmarking against experimental conditions for typical radiation qualities and setups in interventional radiology and cardiology.
David Fernández Bosman,Victor García Balcaza,Clara Delgado,Sara Principi,M.A. Duch,Mercè Ginjaume +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the validation of the fast Monte Carlo code MC-GPU for application in interventional radiology and compared it with PENELOPE/penEasy by simulating the organ dose distribution in a voxelized anthropomorphic phantom.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quality assurance of dose management systems.
TL;DR: In this article , the authors propose vendor neutral quality tests and discuss how QA can be established for DMS's to ensure robustness and quality of patient dose data, which can be used to guide medical physics experts to design their QA program as appropriate.

The UF family of reference hybrid phantoms for computational radiation dosimetry
Choonsik Lee,Daniel Lodwick,Jorge L. Hurtado,Deanna Pafundi,Jonathan L. Williams,Wesley E. Bolch +5 more
TL;DR: Researchers at the University of Florida have introduced a series of hybrid phantoms representing the ICRP Publication 89 reference newborn, 15 year, and adult male and female, which retain the non-uniform scalability of stylizedphantoms while maintaining the anatomical realism of patient-specific voxel phantom with respect to organ shape, depth and inter-organ distance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real-Time Quantification and Display of Skin Radiation During Coronary Angiography and Intervention
TL;DR: Monitoring of the dose distribution at the skin will alert the operator to the development of high-dose areas; by use of other gantry settings with nonoverlapping entrance fields, different generator settings, and extra collimation, skin lesion can be avoided.
Journal ArticleDOI
The UF/NCI family of hybrid computational phantoms representing the current US population of male and female children, adolescents, and adults--application to CT dosimetry.
TL;DR: The results suggest that one very useful application of the phantom library would be the construction of a pre-computed dose library for CT imaging as needed for patient dose-tracking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Skin dose mapping for fluoroscopically guided interventions.
TL;DR: The skin dose mapping program developed in this work represents a new tool that, as the RDSR becomes available through automated export or real-time streaming, can provide the interventional physician information needed to modify behavior when clinically appropriate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the accuracy of air kerma-area product (KAP) meters was evaluated by the AAPM Task Group 190 (TG-190) and validated using validation test protocols to compare the displayed radiation output value to an external measurement.
