Radiation exposure to anaesthetists during interventional radiology.
This prospective study determined the level of radiation exposure of anaesthetists during interventional radiological procedures performed in the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography suite and cardiac catheterisation laboratory and compared it with the current safety guidelines. Anaesthetists wore area-specific lithium fluoride thermo-luminescent dosimeter badges at standardised posit...
متن کاملRadiation Protection in Interventional Radiology
Interventional procedures are used by a significant number of medical specialities. Radiation protection (RP) for patients and staff is one of the main issues in Interventional Radiology (IR). UNSCEAR, ICRP and IAEA have devoted significant time over the last years to improve radiation safety in IR. Several combined factors: prolonged localized fluoroscopy, multiple radiographic exposures, and ...

OBJECTIVES To investigate radiation exposure among the staff of departments of nuclear medicine (NM) and diagnostic radiology (DR) during 2008 and 2009 and to compare the mean doses received with the limit of 20 mSv/year of the International Commission of Radiological Protection (ICRP). MATERIALS AND METHODS The whole-body dose or effective dose, i.e. Hp(10), and the skin dose, i.e. Hp(0.07),...
متن کاملPractical Aspects of Radiation Protection in Interventional Radiology
The rise in the frequency of interventional procedures over recent years is due to the significant benefits of interventional radiology. Patients may be treated as an out-patient for clinical conditions, which would have otherwise needed surgery, i.e., a more traumatic and expensive treatment. In some circumstances, for example in neuroradiology the aneurysm may be inoperable surgically and int...
متن کاملRadiation protection of medical staff.
The continuing increase in the worldwide use of X-ray imaging has implications for radiation protection of medical staff. Much of the increased usage could be viewed as simply a workload issue with no particular new challenges. However, advances in technology and developments in techniques have seen an increase in the number of X-ray procedures in which medical personnel need to maintain close ...
