Radiation Exposure to the Hand of a Spinal Interventionalist during Fluoroscopically Guided Procedures
STUDY DESIGN Prospective study. PURPOSE During fluoroscopically guided spinal procedure, the hands of spinal surgeons are placed close to the field of radiation and may be exposed to ionizing radiation. This study directly measured the radiation exposure to the hand of a spinal interventionalist during fluoroscopically guided procedures. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Fluoroscopically guided spinal...
متن کاملLumbar discography: a tool for understanding spinal pain.
The procedure is diagnostic in nature and is performed by a provider knowledgeable in spinal anatomy as well as in radiological imaging and equipment. Discography is the only means of directly assessing whether a patient’s disc is the cause of back or neck pain. It is a more sensitive test for internal disc disruption than magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Disc abnormalities may be identified o...
متن کاملRadiation exposure to personnel performing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
BACKGROUND Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) relies on the use of ionising radiation but risks to operator and patient associated with radiation exposure are unclear. The aim of this prospective study was to estimate the radiation dose received by personnel performing fluoroscopic endoscopic procedures, mainly ERCP. METHODS Consecutive procedures over a two month period we...
متن کاملFactors Related to Radiation Exposure during Lumbar Spine Intervention
Fluoroscopy guidance is useful to confirm anatomical landmark and needle location for spine intervention; however, it can lead to radiation exposure in patients, physicians, and medical staff. Physicians who used fluoroscopy should be cognizant of radiation exposure and intend to minimize radiation dose. We retrospectively reviewed three lumbar spine intervention procedures (nerve root block, m...
متن کاملRadiation exposure during the lateral lumbar interbody fusion procedure and techniques to reduce radiation dosage
BACKGROUND Fluoroscopy is widely used in spine surgery to assist with graft and hardware placement. Previous studies have not measured radiation exposure to a surgeon during minimally invasive lateral lumbar spine surgery for single-level discectomy and interbody cage insertion. This study was performed to model and measure radiation exposure to a surgeon during spine surgery using the direct l...
