EC RP No 154 The x-ray examination definition An x-ray examination or interventional procedure is defined as one or a series of x-ray exposures of one anatomical region/organ/organ system using a single imaging modality (i.e. radiography/ fluoroscopy or CT) needed to answer a specific diagnostic problem or clinical question during one visit to the radiology department, hospital or clinic One type of exam may consist of several subgroups of exams reflecting different clinical indications and various medical practices across the country

Dose survey methods: the practical dose parameters Radiography and fluoroscopy Mammography CT ESD DAP CTDI w CTDI vol DLP D air MGD For radiography and fluoroscopy the practical dose parameter is the dose area product, DAP for mammography it is the calculated mean glandular dose while for CT it is the weighted and pitch corrected CTDI vol and the dose length product, DLP
National average dose figures (NDF) should be established for each of the Top 20 Exams, by collecting information about representative doses from a sample of hospitals and practices in the practical patient dose quantities introduced in Chapter 4.1 in the report The basic data would normally be the same as providing national dose distributions used for establishments of diagnostic reference levels the dose figures are converted to effective dose by means of the conversion coefficients provided in Chapter 4.3. guidance in identifying uncertainties in patient dose estimates is provided in Chapter 4.6 in the report. table 16 concludes it is recommended to collect representative dose figures from >100 rooms.

Nordic Radiation protection co-operation X-ray diagnostic group Annual meeting at Hurtigruten 2007 Inspection workshop at SSI 2004 For more than 30 years: WG on matters related to the use of x-ray equipment WG dedicated medical diagnostics and intervention, the so-called Röntgen group" or X-ray diagnostic group. Was first formalized in 1978 and held its first meeting in Norway that year Since 1983 the group has held annual meetings in each of the five Nordic countries on turn https://www.gr.is/nordicxray/index.htm
Elements in a TOP 20 survey Look into the national system for categorizing or coding radiological examinations, and identify the 20 examination types listed in Table 6 in RP Nº 154 Look in Appendix 1 in the RP Nº154 for detailed examination description for the Top 20 Exams. National average dose figures should be established for each of the Top 20 Exams. Do you have updated average dose figures for all 20 examinations? Based on the dose distributions used to establish local DRL s or other? The dose figures are converted to effective dose by means of the conversion coefficients provided in Chapter 4.3 Discussion of uncertainties and problems in that task based on national efforts

Kartlegging av radiologi i Norge per 2008 Vi har et detaljert radiologisk kodeverk, NORAKO, som har gjennomgått årlige oppdateringer siden 90 tallet (planlagt skiftet ut fra 2011) Vi er et lite land, og kan henvende oss til samtlige brukere trenger ikke oppskalere studiet Hovedutfordring er at en radiologisk undersøkelse kan kreere flere NORAKO koder. Det kan være vanskelig å holde telling på pasientene CT og MR undersøkelser med flere serier med og uten kontrast Om mammografi telles som ett eller to bryst andre organer/ekstremiteter det er to av telles som en eller to avhengig av koding Andre bidrag til usikkerhet Vi har en utfordring mht å finne alle brukere, spesielt utenfor radiologiske avdelinger (intervensjon, kardiologi, operasjon, kiropraktikk ) For de identifiserte TOP 20 er det lettere, noen få og ganske vel definerte undersøkelser.
