Radiation safety issues in fluoroscopy during percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
INTRODUCTION Fluoroscopy-guided intervention during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has become the order of the day. During this procedure, both the patient and the physician are exposed to some radiation. Measurement of radiation doses in patients and personnel are important. Patient radiation doses are used for comparison with other centers for achieving the best possible radiation practi...

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...
