A study was performed to evaluate operator dose during diagnostic and interventional radiology procedures (iVR)and to establish methods of operator dose reduction with a radiation protective device. Operator dose was measured by glass dosimeters worn on the neck and on the abdomen outside the lead apron. In addition, the dose of the primary beam at the collimator surface was measured, which made it possible to define the correlation between the entrance air kerma, measured with Skin Dose Monitor, and operator dose exposed during the monitored procedure. IVR protectors were developed to decrease the amount of scatter radiation received by operators performing the procedures, and their effects were evaluated in abdominal and cardiac angiography procedures. The average effective dose and doses of the neck and abdomen outside the lead apron, estimated for individual procedures, were as follows: abdominal angiography procedures: effective dose, 0.07 mSv; neck area, 0.18 mSv; abdominal area, 0.51 mSv; cardiac angiography procedures: effective dose, 0.07 mSv; neck area, 0.13 mSv; abdominal area, 0.68 mSv. Operator doses were well correlated with exposure dose in abdominal angiography procedures (diagnostic procedure r=0.84, IVR r=0.77). It was found that 68.0% of the effective dose in abdominal angiography procedures and 43.0% of the effective dose in cardiac angiography procedures could be reduced by the use of IVR protectors. Operator and patient doses in interventional radiology were interdependent. The minimization of operator doses is particularly important during interventional radiology, and it is necessary to be aware of practical radiation protection procedures. Measures that reduce patient dose will also reduce occupational exposure. Moreover, operator dose could be substantially reduced by the use of IVR protectors in addition to wearing a protective lead apron during IVR. It was suggested that IVR protectors are effective radiation protective devices in interventional radiology procedures.
