| Core Tip |
endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP) performance requires endoscopic skills and the use of fluoroscopy with inherent patient and staff radiation exposure. Current ERCP quality measures do not in?clude any measures of radiation. There has been a suggestion to include fluoroscopy time as a radiation quality measure in ERCP. This article provides data on the strength of correlation between fluoroscopy time and more direct measures of radiation exposure such as dose area product and dose at reference point. It also provides a recommendation to include all three measures as quality measures for ERCP. The article presents important principles to achieve the as low as reasonable achievable radiation doses during ERCP. |
