Risks Related To Fluoroscopy Radiation Associated With Electrophysiology Procedures.
The benefits of cardiac imaging are immense, and modern cardiac electrophysiology (EP) requires the extensive and versatile use of a variety of cardiac imaging and radiology-based techniques. In the cardiac electrophysiology lab, doses can range around a reference effective dose (ED) of 15 milliSievert corresponding to 750 chest x-rays for a cardiac radiofrequency ablation, ranging from less th...
متن کاملFluoroscopy-induced chronic radiation dermatitis (FICRD) after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm endoleak repair
F luoroscopy use has increased recently because of the growing use of minimally invasive surgical procedures. Fluoroscopy, and other procedures using radiation exposure, can induce acute and chronic skin damage. Diagnosis of fluoroscopy-induced chronic radiation dermatitis (FICRD) is challenging as patients are sometimes unaware of exposure to radiation and presentation often occurs after month...
متن کاملRadiation Protection in CT Fluoroscopy
This article discusses the dose to the operator and radiation protection in computed tomographic fluoroscopy (CTF)-guided intervention. One of the major limitations of CTF is excessive radiation exposure to the operator, in particular, to his or her hands. Therefore, we developed biopsy needle-holders that permit the operator to manipulate the needle without placing his or her hands in the dire...
متن کاملRadiation protection education in fluoroscopy.
Potential biological damage from radiation received during fluoroscopy procedures is of particular concern because of the high volume and variety of procedures performed and the increasing length of radiation exposure. This article focuses on the effects of low-level radiation, gaps in education and skills among personnel performing and assisting with fluoroscopy, the certification and privileg...
متن کاملPatient radiation exposure during general fluoroscopy examinations
The purpose of this study was to assess the level of patient radiation dose received in general fluoroscopy examinations, compare the findings with the international diagnostic reference levels (IDRLs), and establish the initial institutional (local) LDRLs. A comprehensive survey was conducted for general fluoroscopy examinations using the medical records of a Radiology Department of a leading ...
