Objective: Establish diagnostic reference levels for interventional radiology procedures common to Cardiology Institute and a private polyclinic and compare them with international standards. Methods: Study carried out in two interventional radiology units in Abidjan, Cardiology Institute and a private polyclinic. Coronarography, coronary angioplasty and uterine fibroid embolization were commun procedures to both centers selected. Thirty patients per procedure were selected. Epidemiological data and dosimetric values (PDS, scan timing, cumulative doses) were noted. Results: Pds was 29, 86 Gy.cm2, scan timing 7 min 82s, cumulative doses 457, 5 mGy for coronarography. Pds was 47, 77 Gy.cm2; scan timing 27 min 28s; cumulative doses 862 mGy for coronary angioplasty. Pds was 298, 45 Gy.cm2; scan timing 38 min 09s; cumulative doses 1162 mGy for uterine fibroid embolization. Conclusion: Differences were observed between the two sites due to differences in equipment. NRD were sometimes lower or higher than international values.
