Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Conventional Accessory Pathway (AP) ablation is a straightforward approach with high success rates, but the fluoroscopy time significantly higher. Electroanatomical mapping systems (EMS), reduce time, anatomical reconstruction and activation prolong procedure time. The Fluoroscopy Integration Module (FIM) uses prereco...

conclusions the advantages of dsa in fluoroscopy-guided transforaminal epidural block and nerve block are identification of the degree of appropriate contrast flow (epidural and nerve root sleeve) and the intravascular administration without overlapping radiodense structures. introduction most pain physicians know that fluoroscopy might improve the safety, accuracy, and efficacy of nerve block;...

Quality ERCP includes safety as well as efficacy. During ERCP, safety not only refers to immediate risks to the patient such as pancreatitis, bleeding and perforation, but also includes radiation risks to both the patient and the medical providers. There are numerous factors associated with radiation risk, including proper education and use of equipment, shielding of personnel, and procedure pe...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background With advances in mapping equipment and increased use intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), atrial fibrillation (AF) ablations can be safely performed without fluoroscopy. Benefits include no radiation exposure to patient staff reduced long-term orthopedic complications related lead aprons for staff. Published data compar...

BACKGROUND Factors that impact radiation exposure during operative fixation of pediatric supracondylar humerus (SCH) fractures have been investigated; however, no studies have measured the equivalent dose at the patient's radiosensitive organs. Our hypothesis was that intraoperative fluoroscopy exposes pediatric patients to a significant radiation load and lead shielding of radiosensitive organ...
