Radiation Dose and Risk Assessment in Hysterosalpingography
Abstract
Hysterosalpingography is an important diagnostic method for the evaluation of the female re productive tract involving the exposure of patients to ionizing radiation The irradiation of ovaries is unavoidable and radiation exposure of the patient and the associated radiological risk for the foetus and born child during the period of growth should be considered, as well The purpose of this work is to evaluate organ and patient doses and radiation risks during hysterosalpingography procedures performed in a dedicated gynecological hospital The entrance surface air kerma was measured for a total of 31 patients during hvsterosalpingography Based on the results obtained, the radiogenic risk for hereditary effects and cancer induction was estimated The patient dose levels are in the range of 3-15 mGy, with a median value of 10 mGy, in terms of entrance surface air kerma Estimated median ovarian and uterus doses are 1 7 and 2 3 mGy, respectively The risk for fatal cancer and hereditary effects... is estimated to be 5 5 10(-5) and 3 4 10(-6), respectively Although low compared to the natural incidence of genetic effects and cancer, it can be elevated in cases of prolonged or repeated procedures or procedures where the non-optimized protocol is used
