description | Abstract
The aim of this study was to propose local diagnostic reference levels (LDRLs) for the most common computed tomography (CT) examinations (including contrast and non-contrast scan phase) performed at Advanced Medical and Dental Institute (AMDI), Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Malaysia. A retrospective CT dose survey of 1488 subjects from January 2015 until December 2018 was performed at AMDI USM, Malaysia. The proposed DRLs were established at 50th and 75th percentile of dose distribution for all dose metrics (CT dose index [CTDI]; CTDIvol, CTDIw and dose–length product). The proposed LDRLs were compared with national DRLs and other established DRLs. The 10 most common CT examinations at AMDI were thorax–abdomen–pelvis (TAP) CT (46%), followed by pelvis CT (17%), abdomen–pelvis CT (10%), brain/head CT (9%) and other CT protocols. The local DRLs were established using the third quartile values of dose distribution and were categorized based on CT region protocols. Most of the proposed DRLs were exceeded the national DRLs (63%) and other international DRLs (67%). From the dose auditing, almost half of the recent dose data (for year 2018) exceeded the proposed local DRLs and the unusual dose were observed in TAP, brain/head and pelvis CT examinations. The unusual higher dose could be due to higher mAs settings, higher number of scan phase for contrast study and higher pitch factor. The local DRLs should be established for dose optimization and reduction of the occurrence of excessive radiation exposure to the patients. The establishment of the Ads and LDRLs should also consider all the factors that affect the variation in DRLs such as CT technology, scanning protocols and population characteristics. The local dose distribution should always be revised for improvement of the current local practice. |
