| Popis: | The present study evaluated the organ doses, effective doses and conversion factors from the dose–area product to effective dose in pediatric diagnostic cardiac catheterization performed by in-phantom dosimetry and Monte Carlo simulation. The organ and effective doses in 5-y-olds during diagnostic cardiac catheterizations were evaluated using radiophotoluminescence glass dosemeters implanted into a pediatric anthropomorphic phantom and PCXMC software. The mean effective dose was 3.8 mSv (range: 1.8–7.5 mSv). The conversion factors from the dose–area product to effective dose were 0.9 and 1.6 mSv (Gy cm2)−1 for posteroanterior and lateral fluoroscopy, respectively, and 0.9 and 1.5 mSv (Gy cm2)−1 for posteroanterior and lateral cineangiography, respectively. Effective doses evaluated using the pediatric dosimetry system agreed with those obtained using PCXMC software within 12%. The dose data and conversion factors evaluated may guide the estimation of exposure doses in children undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterization. |
