Title

Assessment of Patient Absorbed Radiation Dose during Hysterosalpingography: A Pilot Study in Southwest Nigeria

Pages

  131-140

Abstract

 Background: Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is an indispensable tool for diagnosing infertility in females. The procedure exposes female reproductive organs to ionizing radiation as the genitals are irradiated during the process. Investigating patient absorbed dose during the procedures is essential for effective radiological protection of the patient. Objective: This study aims to investigate the radiation dose received by patient during HSG examination in the study environment in order to enhance optimization of procedures and the associated dose, thereby minimizing radiation risks. Material and Methods: The prospective pilot study, was conducted in four tertiary healthcare institutions in Southwest Nigeria. Thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD 100) was used to determine the Entrance Surface Dose (ESD) of 80 patients presented for HSG investigation. The corresponding Effective Dose, ovary, uterus and urinary bladder doses were evaluated using PCXMC software. Results: The mean Entrance Surface Doses (ESD) obtained from the four centers were 18. 58± 6. 31 mGy, 15. 18± 2. 27 mGy, 17. 44± 3. 43 mGy and 34. 24± 11. 98 mGy for SW1, SW2, SW3 and SW4 centers, respectively. The corresponding mean of Effective Doses were 1. 54± 0. 63 mSv, 1. 24± 0. 28 mSv, 1. 41± 0. 30 mSv and 2. 53± 0. 94 mSv for SW1, SW2, SW3 and SW4 centers, respectively. The resulting mean doses to the ovary, urinary bladder and uterus were also presented. Conclusion: The results obtained in general are comparable with international standards. It was, however, recommended that study centers with high doses should conduct dose audit in order to enhance Patient Safety.
