Because of the increasing number of fluoroscopically-guided interventional procedures, physicians may be exposed to high annual dose. Radioprotective equipment is therefore desirable.This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a disposable lead-free drape in reducing scatter radiation exposure for physicians and patients during percutaneous coronary intervention.Eye lens and extremity dose measurements,...
The eye lens radiation-induced risk has been assessed for various population groups. In the framework of the European epidemiological study, EURALOC, an attempt is made to determine a possible dose-response relationship by targeting interventional cardiologists, a group of high exposure values.In the study, eye lens doses are assessed using two approaches: combining self-reported data on working practices...
