Research on reducing radiation exposure during cardiac angiography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background/Purpose Recent advances in devices involving cardiac catheterization, especially interventional procedures, has lead to increase in examination time and consequent increase in fluoroscopy time and number of filming exposures. Increase in radiation exposure to the patients and the medical personnel has been closed up as a serious agenda. In this study, we focused on the factors that lead to reduction in radiation exposure to the patients and medical staff, especially nurses, and discussed their efficacy.

Breast Radiation Protection in Coronary Angiography
Introduction: Coronary angiography (CA) is an interventional diagnostic procedure to assess cardiovascular disease. CA is performed using dedicated fluoroscopic systems equipped with either flat detector or image intensifier. There is an increase in the number of CA annually. Reducing the radiation exposure in the CA is essential, especially due to high fluoroscopy time. In ord...

Introduction: Coronary angiography is a Diagnostic-Therapeutic method involving ionizing radiation. This method causes to DNA damage with form double stranded breaks which is followed by the phosphorylation of the histone, H2AX. H2AX is a key factor in the repair process of damaged DNA which will accumulate to damage sites. In human cells, H2AX constitutes about 10% of the H2A ...
