Methods and Results: Retrospective (n\u00a0=\u00a0160) and prospective (n\u00a0=\u00a062) data for DCA (n\u00a0=\u00a0179) and PCI (n\u00a0=\u00a043) examinations performed by interventional cardiologists (n\u00a0=\u00a03) using the same imaging equipment were reviewed. The operator with consistently low diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) was interviewed for their personal perceptions upon operator training. Retrospective Median [IQR] DAP was 18.8 [11.8\u201331.6] and 50.7 [35.3\u201385.6] Gy.cm2 for DCA and PCI, respectively. Prospective Median [IQR] DAP for DCA and PCI was 7.9 [5.2\u201310.6] and 15.9 [10.0\u201317.7] Gy.cm2, respectively. DRLs were within Irish and European DRLs; however, significant inter-operator variability (p\u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a0.001) was identified. Conclusion: Radiation exposure in Interventional cardiology is highly operator dependent; further research is warranted in standardization of operator training with evolving technologies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/rpd\/ncaa201","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,18]],"date-time":"2020-11-18T12:36:15Z","timestamp":1605702975000},"page":"89-96","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["AN INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY INVESTIGATION: PATIENT EXPOSURE TO RADIATION AND INTER-OPERATOR VARIABILITY IN AN IRISH SETTING"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"192","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8266-7543","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joseph","family":"Anderson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, UCD, Dublin, Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Moreno","family":"Zanardo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano, Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brian","family":"Smyth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology Department, Mater Private Hospital, Dublin, Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lis","family":"Fox","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bons Secours Hospital group, Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ashna","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, RGUHS, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marion","family":"Maher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, UCD, Dublin, Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L","family":"Louise Rainford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, UCD, Dublin, Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020123007295648300_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijchv.2014.08.001","article-title":"Trends in percutaneous coronary intervention and angiography in Ireland, 2004\u20132011: implications for Ireland and Europe","volume":"4","author":"Jennings","year":"2014","journal-title":"IJC Heart & Vessels."},{"issue":"4","key":"2020123007295648300_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1007\/s11936-018-0621-3","article-title":"Prevention of contrast and radiation injury during coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention","volume":"20","author":"Afshar","year":"2018","journal-title":"Curr.
