Abstract

It is known that medical exposition with ionizing radiation is currently the main exposition source to artificial radiation at global level. To prevent unnecessarily high doses during these patient expositions, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recommends the use of Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs), as an effective tool to support the optimization of radiological protection for patient medical exposure for diagnosis and interventional procedures. Since that the Chilean legislation does not have its use incorporated yet, the present revision work aims to elaborate a guiding document for health professionals and related fields, that succinctly and with practical recommendations, the main aspects to consider for establishing DRLs in procedures for radiodiagnostic, intervention, and nuclear medicine, mainly based in N° 135 ICRP publication about DRLs.
