Dose to cardiologists in haemodynamic and electrophysiology cardiac interventional procedures.

摘要: Interventional cardiac procedures can be complex and involve extensive use of low dose rate fluoroscopy high in image acquisition mode; hence, staff may receive significant radiation exposure. Radiation exposure to operators was assessed 173 procedures. Fluoroscopy time, number acquired images dose-area product were recorded occupational with thermoluminescence dosemeters. The effective the operator compared relevant literature data: values found generally lower than those reported for other interventional cardiology laboratories. This is probably because strict protection policy our centre. Higher doses defibrillator implantation percutaneous transluminal coronary angiography procedures; procedures, lower. Yearly extrapolated cardiologists are regulatory limit band literature.
