Protection of patients from excessive medical radiation has become a high priority in health care. As clinical physicians, interventional radiologists must remain cognizant of the radiation we use in daily practice. Radiation reduction begins before the procedure itself, as with appropriate preprocedural planning the amount of fluoroscopy and angiography used can then be reduced. Patients should be counseled regarding the potential for use of significant amounts of radiation when procedures associated with such doses are planned, as part of the process of obtaining informed consent. If significant radiation is used, patients should be alerted to have appropriate follow-up. The amount of radiation used can be reduced by careful attention to imaging technique.
保护患者免受过度医疗辐射已成为医疗保健中的一项高度优先事项。作为临床医生，介入放射科医生必须始终意识到我们在日常实践中使用的辐射。减少辐射从手术本身之前就开始了，通过适当的术前规划，可以减少荧光透视和血管造影的使用量。在计划与此类剂量相关的手术时，应告知患者使用大量辐射的可能性，作为获得知情同意过程的一部分。如果使用了大量辐射，应提醒患者进行适当的随访。通过仔细关注成像技术，可以减少辐射使用量。
