Optimizing radiation protection of the operator during cardiac catheterization by minimizing the effective dose
Radiation exposure dosimetry for the personnel is based on measurements of phantom studies. To determine effective dose values for different X-ray equipment, TLD-measurements were performed using an Alderson Phantom in the patient position and a second phantom in the typical position of the personnel. Various types of protective clothing as well as fixed shields were considered in the calculati...
متن کاملComparison of skin dose measurement using nanoDot® dosimeter and machine readings of radiation dose during cardiac catheterization in children
Objectives Direct measurement of skin dose of radiation for children using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) technology using nanoDot® (Landauer, Glenwood, IL, USA). Background Radiation dose is estimated as cumulative air kerma (AK) and dosearea product based on standards established for adult size patients. Body size of pediatric patients who undergo cardiac catheterization for congen...

متن کاملDiagnostic Cardiac Catheterization in Infants and Children
Echocardiography has greatly influenced the catheterization laboratory patient profile. The remarkable diagnostic precision of this tool has essentially eliminated the need for preoperative diagnostic catheterization in many of the common congenital lesions, such as tetralogy of Fallot, total anomalous pulmonary venous return, and endocardial cushion defects , . On the other hand, echocardiogra...
متن کاملA conductive catheter to improve patient safety during cardiac catheterization.
A 60 Hz current, as small as 20 microamperemeter (rms) is capable of causing ventricular fibrillation when directly applied to the heart. Significant cost and engineering effort has been spent to construct monitoring equipment which satisfies the safety regulations requiring maximum leakage currents below this value. Patients undergoing cardiac catheterization are particularly at risk from elec...
