Published in: European radiology (2017)

• Delivered dose in interventional radiology depends on procedure, practice and patient. • National RLs are proposed for 15 interventional procedures. • Reference levels (RLs) are useful to benchmark practices and optimize protocols. • RLs are proposed for kerma area product, air kerma, fluoroscopy time and number of images. • RLs should be adapted to the procedure complexity and updated regularly.
