Radiation exposure of patients in interventional radiology
 MALÍNSKÁ, Karla
The issue of patient radiation exposure remains an important topic in the field of radiology. The objective of the bachelor's thesis was to determine the average effective doses of patients who underwent fluoroscopy-guided interventional procedures at a selected workplace. The theoretical part of the thesis discusses the use of ionizing radiation in medical practice and describes the specific radiation exposure for patients in the given area. Additionally, it provides an overview of the current possibilities of interventional radiology. In the practical part of the bachelor's thesis, a sample of data from the radiology department of České Budějovice Hospital, a.s. was used. The effective dose was chosen as the measure to evaluate patient radiation exposure, as it allows for the assessment of risks associated with medical radiation using a single value. The estimation of average effective doses was conducted using conversion factors, which enable the conversion of the directly measurable KAP value into an effective dose. The results of the practical part of the study revealed that the risks associated with radiation exposure from fluoroscopy-guided interventional procedures can be considered minimal to low. Furthermore, the results indicate that the values of effective doses vary significantly among individual patients.
