Abstract Interventional cardiology procedures can involve relatively high radiation doses compared to general radiography. During coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention (PCI), the same area is exposed to radiation for a long period. In this study, radiation exposure data of 1071 examinations in Korean hospitals were collected, and the achievable dose (AD) and diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) in actual medical practice for two types of interventional cardiology procedures in Korea were established. In CAG, 75th percentile DRLs and AD of the total kerma-area product were 47.0 and 33.1 Gy·cm 2, respectively. In PCI, those values were 171.3 and 102.6 Gy·cm2, respectively. This is the first study to introduce the DRLs for cardiovascular interventional procedures in Korea. These results will help optimise the interventional cardiology procedures for Korean cardiac centres.

Abstract Purpose: Conventional coronary angiography (CCA) and coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) are the most frequently used imaging modalities to diagnose coronary artery disease (CAD). The amount of radiation and genotoxic damages of these imaging methods showed variation with the improved technology. Thus we sought to compare the ionizing radiation doses and radiation-induced DNA damage in patients who were performed CCA and CCTA.Methods: 76 patients (39 in CCA group, 37 in CCTA group) were enrolled. Patients undergoing CCTA were grouped according to the use of flash technique (22 patients with CCTA-flash, 15 patients with CCTA-other). The effective radiation dose was recorded. Genotoxicity was compared with chromosome aberration test before and after imaging methods.Results: There was a significant difference between the groups in effective radiation doses given to patients. Radiation was lowest in the CCTA-flash group, followed by CCA, and non-flash CCTA group. There was no change in chromosome aberration rate after CCTA-flash group (p = 0.479). There was a significant increase in chromosome aberration rates after CCA and CCTA-other groups (CCA: p = 0.001; CCTA-other: p = 0.01). Conclusions: CTA which was taken with flash technique in dual-energy CT devices delivers lower dose radiation compared to other groups. Due to this significant difference, radiation-induced genetic damage was significantly less in patients with CCTA undergoing flash technique.
