Purpose.
The objective of this study was to determine the estimated effective radiation dose of pulmonary CT angiography (CTA) for suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) contributing to total medical radiation exposure over a 4-year period.
Materials and Methods.
This investigation retrospectively reviewed 300 patients who presented to the emergency department and received a pulmonary CTA scan for suspected PE.
We evaluated these patients' electronic medical record to determine their estimated radiation exposure to CT scans during the following four years.
Using DLP to E conversion coefficients, we calculated the cumulative effective radiation dose each subject received.
Results.
A total of 900 CT scans were reviewed in this study.
Pulmonary CTA delivered an average effective radiation dose of 10.7 ± 2.5 mSv and accounted for approximately 65% of subjects' 4-year cumulative medical radiation dose.
Only 6.3% of subjects had a positive acute PE according to their radiology report.
Conclusion.
Pulmonary CTA accounted for the majority of subjects’ medically related effective radiation dose over a 4-year period.
With only a minority of subjects having positive findings for acute PE, increased efforts should be made to clinically assess pretest probability before the consideration of imaging.
