Résumé
Liver-transplanted, immunosuppressed pediatric patients undergoing repeated percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) require optimized exposure to ionizing radiation. To establish local diagnostic reference levels (DRL) for pediatric PTC and investigate the routine use of X-ray equipment. The study retrospectively analyzed data collected between October 2016 and June 2018 from a single center performing PTC. We collected exposure parameters including kerma area product (P The analysis included 162 PTC procedures performed in 64 children: 58% male, average age 6 years (range 39 days to 16 years) and weight 24 kg (range 3-60 kg). Local DRLs for weight groups 0-5 kg, 5-15 kg, 15-30 kg, 30-50 kg and 50-80 kg were, respectively, 6 cGy.cm We established local DRLs for children undergoing PTC.

BACKGROUND
Liver-transplanted, immunosuppressed pediatric patients undergoing repeated percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) require optimized exposure to ionizing radiation.
OBJECTIVE
To establish local diagnostic reference levels (DRL) for pediatric PTC and investigate the routine use of X-ray equipment.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The study retrospectively analyzed data collected between October 2016 and June 2018 from a single center performing PTC. We collected exposure parameters including kerma area product (P
RESULTS
The analysis included 162 PTC procedures performed in 64 children: 58% male, average age 6 years (range 39 days to 16 years) and weight 24 kg (range 3-60 kg). Local DRLs for weight groups 0-5 kg, 5-15 kg, 15-30 kg, 30-50 kg and 50-80 kg were, respectively, 6 cGy.cm
CONCLUSION
We established local DRLs for children undergoing PTC.
