Abstract Objective By measuring the relationship between the reference point dose and the display dose of interventional radiology equipment in fluoroscopy mode, the accuracy of the display dose of equipment was verified, and the rationality of using the display reference point dose to guide physicians to optimize radiation protection was evaluated.Methods Two different brands of flat panel detectors for interventional radiology equipment were selected and recorded as device A and Device B respectively. A 30 cm×30 cm and 20 cm thick PMMA phantom and copper plates of different thickness were combined and placed on one side of the plate detector. The RF detector of unfors Xi dosimeter was used to measure the dose rate at the reference point position, and compare the incident dose at the reference point with the displayed value. Different thickness phantom were used to measure the dose rates of the interventional reference points, and the relationship between the output per mA·min and kV was fitted.Results For device A, the deviation between the dose rate displayed and the measured dose rate in the field was within 6%. For device B, the deviation between the dose rate displayed and the measured dose rate in the field reached 85.6% or more. The output of each mA·min of the device has a power exponential relation with kV.Conclusion Medical technicians in interventional radiology should be aware of the accuracy of the reference dose displayed by their X-ray systems for interventional radiology, and periodically verify and control the quality of the interventional radiology equipment to ensure the accuracy and referability of the displayed dose. Interventional physicians and technicians can use the displayed dose to roughly estimate the level of the exposed dose on the patient's body surface to avoid the patient's deterministic effect.
