Radiation-induced skin injuries from fluoroscopy.
Since 1992, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received reports of radiation-induced injuries to the skin in patients who had undergone fluoroscopically guided interventional procedures. The reports were investigated to determine the procedure- or equipment-related factors that may have contributed to the injury. The injuries ranged in severity from erythema to moist desquamation t...

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...
متن کاملFluoroscopy-induced chronic radiation dermatitis (FICRD) after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm endoleak repair
F luoroscopy use has increased recently because of the growing use of minimally invasive surgical procedures. Fluoroscopy, and other procedures using radiation exposure, can induce acute and chronic skin damage. Diagnosis of fluoroscopy-induced chronic radiation dermatitis (FICRD) is challenging as patients are sometimes unaware of exposure to radiation and presentation often occurs after month...
متن کاملRadiation-Induced Alopecia after Endovascular Embolization under Fluoroscopy
Radiation-induced alopecia after fluoroscopically guided procedures is becoming more common due to an increasing use of endovascular procedures. It is characterized by geometric shapes of nonscarring alopecia related to the area of radiation. We report a case of a 46-year-old man presenting with asymptomatic, sharply demarcated rectangular, nonscarring alopecic patch on the occipital scalp foll...
