The objective of this study is to estimate the annual effective dose for cardiologists and nurses by measuring Hp(10) and Hp(0.07) during cardiac catheterization procedures. A total of 16 staffs members were working in interventional cardiology during 1 year at a tertiary hospital. The occupational dose was measured using calibrated thermo-luminescent dosemeters (TLD-100, LiF:Mg,Ti). The overall mean and range of the annual Hp(10) and Hp(0.07) (mSv) for cardiologists were 3.7 (0.13–14.5) and 3.2 (0.21–14.7), respectively. Cardiologists were frequently exposed to higher doses compared with nurses and technologists. The exposure showed wide variations, which depend on occupation and workload. Staff is adhered to radiation protection guidelines regarding shielding the trunk, thyroid shield, thus appropriately protected. Lens dose measurement is recommended to ensure that dose limit is not exceeded.

沙特阿拉伯心导管科工作人员年辐射暴露评估

本研究的目的是通过测量心导管插入术中的 Hp(10) 和 Hp(0.07) 来估计心脏病专家和护士的年有效剂量。1年期间，共有16名工作人员在三级医院从事介入心脏病学工作。使用校准的热致发光剂量计（TLD-100，LiF：Mg，Ti）测量职业剂量。心脏病专家的年度 Hp(10) 和 Hp(0.07) (mSv) 的总体平均值和范围分别为 3.7 (0.13-14.5) 和 3.2 (0.21-14.7)。与护士和技术人员相比，心脏病专家经常接触到更高的剂量。暴露表现出很大的差异，这取决于职业和工作量。工作人员遵守有关屏蔽躯干、甲状腺屏蔽的辐射防护指南，从而得到适当的保护。
