  The escalating utilization and complexity of fluoroscopically guided procedures contribute to prolonged examination durations and heightened risks of adverse radiation risk. Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs) are essential for optimizing radiation dose. The aim of this study is to establish local DRLs for Lower Limb Angiography (LLA) procedure. The investigation was conducted at at the Mohammed VI University Hospital Center in Marrakech, Morocco. The dosimetric data collected were the cumulative Dose Area Product (DAP), Fluoroscopic Time (FT), and Number of Frames (NF). The quantities' distributions were analyzed statistically, and local DRLs were determined as the 75th percentile, with the medians as typical values. The proposed LDRLs were compared to international studies. A total of 100 patients were included and performed examinations using a single C-arm machine. The Typical .. Read More»
