Patient 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 ...
متن کاملRadiation safety issues in fluoroscopy during percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
INTRODUCTION Fluoroscopy-guided intervention during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has become the order of the day. During this procedure, both the patient and the physician are exposed to some radiation. Measurement of radiation doses in patients and personnel are important. Patient radiation doses are used for comparison with other centers for achieving the best possible radiation practi...
متن کاملPatient and surgeon radiation exposure: comparison of standard and mini-C-arm fluoroscopy.
BACKGROUND Use of c-arm fluoroscopy is common in the operating room, outpatient clinic, and emergency department. Consequently, there is a concern regarding radiation exposure. Mini-c-arm fluoroscopes have gained popularity; however, few studies have quantified exposure during mini-c-arm imaging of a body part larger than a hand or wrist. The purpose of this study was to measure radiation expos...
متن کاملRadiographer Delivered Fluoroscopy Reduces Radiation Exposure During Endoscopic Urological Procedures
INTRODUCTION The 1999 Ionising Radiation Regulations recommend that medical professionals using ionising radiation should aim to keep exposure as 'low as reasonably practicable'. Urologists regularly use fluoroscopy during endoscopic surgical procedures. In some institutions, this is delivered by a radiographer whereas in others, it is delivered by the urological surgeon. OBJECTIVES To determ...
متن کاملA novel radiation protection drape reduces radiation exposure during fluoroscopy guided electrophysiology procedures.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate a novel disposable lead-free radiation protection drape for decreasing radiation scatter during electrophysiology procedures. BACKGROUND In recent years, there has been an exponential increase in the number of electrophysiology (EP) procedures exposing patients, operators and laboratory staff to higher radiation doses. METHODS The RADPAD w...
