Abstract:: |
With advancements in interventional radiology, the interventional diagnosis and treatment are widely applicable for pediatric cardiac diseases. The ionizing radiation during interventional procedures can result in an elevated cancer risk, directly proportional to the radiation dose received. Moreover, it may induce tissue reactions beyond a specific threshold. Given that children are about 2-3 times susceptible to radiation as much as adults, it will be crucial to improve dose control during pediatric interventions, establish the corresponding diagnostic reference level and optimize the diagnosis and treatment procedures. Some countries have carried out dose monitoring and evaluation of pediatric cardiac interventional procedures and established corresponding diagnostic reference levels, but it has yet been in the process of research. This paper reviews the current research status on assessing radiation doses and setting diagnostic reference levels for children receiving congenital heart disease interventions so as to provide a baseline for future measurements and investigations. |
