RESUMO

Prostatic artery embolisation (PAE) is used to treat patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and with lower urinary obstructive tract symptoms. It is an interventional procedure which uses fluoroscopy equipment and can result in exposure to high doses of radiation in patients and staff. We aimed to demonstrate the reduction of radiation doses received by staff during PAE by implementing an optimised protocol called Radiation Exposure Curtailment for Embolisation (RECiFE). This protocol was implemented in cooperation with the medical team and technical team using Siemens Combined Applications to Reduce Exposure (CARE) protocol. The results showed approximately 83% reduction in the radiation doses received by the main physician during PAE. Thus, by adjusting the acquisition parameters of the angiographic equipment and implementing the RECiFE protocol, it is possible to optimise the PAE procedure and reduce the staff radiation dose.
