Study of scattered radiation during fluoroscopy in hip surgery*
OBJECTIVE To measure the scattered radiation dose at different positions simulating hip surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS We simulated fluoroscopy-assisted hip surgery in order to study the distribution of scattered radiation in the operating room. To simulate the patient, we used a anthropomorphic whole-body phantom, and we used an X-ray-specific detector to quantify the radiation. Radiographs ...
متن کاملRadiation Protection in CT Fluoroscopy
This article discusses the dose to the operator and radiation protection in computed tomographic fluoroscopy (CTF)-guided intervention. One of the major limitations of CTF is excessive radiation exposure to the operator, in particular, to his or her hands. Therefore, we developed biopsy needle-holders that permit the operator to manipulate the needle without placing his or her hands in the dire...
متن کاملRadiation protection education in fluoroscopy.
Potential biological damage from radiation received during fluoroscopy procedures is of particular concern because of the high volume and variety of procedures performed and the increasing length of radiation exposure. This article focuses on the effects of low-level radiation, gaps in education and skills among personnel performing and assisting with fluoroscopy, the certification and privileg...
متن کاملA novel radiation protection drape reduces radiation exposure during fluoroscopy guided electrophysiology procedures.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate a novel disposable lead-free radiation protection drape for decreasing radiation scatter during electrophysiology procedures. BACKGROUND In recent years, there has been an exponential increase in the number of electrophysiology (EP) procedures exposing patients, operators and laboratory staff to higher radiation doses. METHODS The RADPAD w...
متن کاملPatient radiation exposure during general fluoroscopy examinations
The purpose of this study was to assess the level of patient radiation dose received in general fluoroscopy examinations, compare the findings with the international diagnostic reference levels (IDRLs), and establish the initial institutional (local) LDRLs. A comprehensive survey was conducted for general fluoroscopy examinations using the medical records of a Radiology Department of a leading ...
