Impact of anthropometric variables on radiation dose in interventional radiology

This study demonstrates that anthropometric characteristics have measurable impact on radiation dose indicators in interventional radiology and provides BMI-stratified TVs based on a clinical dataset. Although multiple factors influence radiation exposure, including procedural complexity and operator experience, anthropometry remains an independent contributor. The TVs presented here support protocol optimization and contextualization of local practice.

Abstract

This study demonstrates that anthropometric characteristics have measurable impact on radiation dose indicators in interventional radiology and provides BMI-stratified TVs based on a clinical dataset. Although multiple factors influence radiation exposure, including procedural complexity and operator experience, anthropometry remains an independent contributor. The TVs presented here support protocol optimization and contextualization of local practice.
