Interventional radiology, among guided RX procedures, is a methodology characterized by high level of doses, both for the patient and for the medical staff. The aim of the present study is to estimate the dose associated to coronary angiography procedures by means of numerical models (simplified and anthropomorphic) and MCNP Monte Carlo code. Numerical estimates were supported by measurement performed with a Dose Area Product meter that is commonly employed in such kind of studies. In the present work the main considerations and the preliminary results are presented.

Abstract

Interventional radiology, among guided RX procedures, is a methodology characterized by high level of doses, both for the patient and for the medical staff. The aim of the present study is to estimate the dose associated to coronary angiography procedures by means of numerical models (simplified and anthropomorphic) and MCNP Monte Carlo code. Numerical estimates were supported by measurement performed with a Dose Area Product meter that is commonly employed in such kind of studies. In the present work the main considerations and the preliminary results are presented.
