Radiation Protection in Interventional Radiology
Interventional procedures are used by a significant number of medical specialities. Radiation protection (RP) for patients and staff is one of the main issues in Interventional Radiology (IR). UNSCEAR, ICRP and IAEA have devoted significant time over the last years to improve radiation safety in IR. Several combined factors: prolonged localized fluoroscopy, multiple radiographic exposures, and ...
متن کاملRadiation exposure to anaesthetists during interventional radiology.
This prospective study determined the level of radiation exposure of anaesthetists during interventional radiological procedures performed in the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography suite and cardiac catheterisation laboratory and compared it with the current safety guidelines. Anaesthetists wore area-specific lithium fluoride thermo-luminescent dosimeter badges at standardised posit...
متن کاملpatient radiation shielding methods in interventional radiology: a literature review
conclusions available shields for the thyroid and eyes should be implemented in clinical practice. further research is needed to demonstrate the prevalence of shielding in the clinical setting. results only a limited number of studies have been performed on the use of shields for the eyes and thyroid, but the evidence shows an overall benefit to their use. this study demonstrates how thyroid sh...
متن کاملPractical Aspects of Radiation Protection in Interventional Radiology
The rise in the frequency of interventional procedures over recent years is due to the significant benefits of interventional radiology. Patients may be treated as an out-patient for clinical conditions, which would have otherwise needed surgery, i.e., a more traumatic and expensive treatment. In some circumstances, for example in neuroradiology the aneurysm may be inoperable surgically and int...
متن کاملMinimizing radiation-induced skin injury in interventional radiology procedures.
Skin injury is a deterministic effect of radiation. Once a threshold dose has been exceeded, the severity of the radiation effect at any point on the skin increases with increasing dose. Peak skin dose is defined as the highest dose delivered to any portion of the patient's skin. Reducing peak skin dose can reduce the likelihood and type of skin injury. Unfortunately, peak skin dose is difficul...
