Average Cumulative Air Kerma (Radiation Exposure)

Mean cumulative radiation dose (measured in air kerma, mGy) during PCI.

Quality Improvement Strategies:
  • Implement real-time radiation monitoring with automated tracking and dose alerts during procedures.

  • Adopt low-dose default fluoroscopy settings and standardize equipment configurations.

  • Train all staff on ALARA principles to reinforce a culture of radiation minimization.

  • Set threshold-based alerts to notify teams when exposure exceeds safe limits.

  • Provide operator-level feedback and conduct quarterly audits by case type and physician.

  • Recognize and reward teams that consistently maintain low radiation exposure..
