Fig. 8. Profile of the parameters of each dosimetry performed for coronary angiography( Coron. AG), coronary angioplasty( Coron. AP), cerebral angiography( Cereb.

Effective doses calculated for interventionists A( white boxplot) and reference doses( R) using a single dosimeter in the chest( gray boxplot) for the metered-dose modalities: coronary angiography( CoAG A and CoAG R), coronary angioplasty( CoAP A and CoAP R), cerebral angiography( CeAG A and CeAG R), peripheral angiography( PeAG A and PeAG R) and coronary angioplasty( PeAP A and PeAP R).
4.2 Cerebral angiography
The chest region of both interventionists in cerebral angiography( medians: 50 mSv and 20 mSv) presented a higher dose when compared to the abdomen( medians: 6 mSv and 7 mSv), as shown in Figure 5. Since the protocols are different, a higher occurrence of exposures at oblique projection with angles close to 90 ° is expected( Lunelli et al., 2013).
