Doses in radiology should be as low as reasonably achievable. In order to compare practice in different centres it is necessary to compare patient doses. This can only be undertaken if dosimetry studies are similar. In order to facilitate comparisons, the DIMOND consortium developed a patient dosimetry protocol. Reference doses have been proposed to identify centres where optimisation studies would be of benefit. Whilst reference doses have been established for common radiographic and fluoroscopic examinations, little research has been undertaken in the area of digital radiology, partly owing to the rapid technological changes occurring in digital and interventional radiology. Dosimetry data obtained by the DIMOND research project were compared with data from published literature. Data for various digital and interventional radiology procedures were reviewed. Proposals are made for reference doses. There is obviously a need for standardised approaches to patient dosimetry, which should be recorded in the hospital's information system.
放射学中的剂量应尽可能合理地降低。为了比较不同中心的实践情况，有必要比较患者剂量。只有当剂量测定研究相似时才能进行比较。为了便于比较，DIMOND联盟制定了一项患者剂量测定方案。已经提出了参考剂量，以确定哪些中心进行优化研究将有益处。虽然已经为常见的X射线摄影和荧光透视检查确定了参考剂量，但在数字放射学领域开展的研究很少，部分原因是数字和介入放射学领域正在发生迅速的技术变革。将DIMOND研究项目获得的剂量测定数据与已发表文献中的数据进行了比较。对各种数字和介入放射学程序的数据进行了审查。提出了参考剂量的建议。显然需要采用标准化的患者剂量测定方法，并且应将其记录在医院的信息系统中。
