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.
