Objective: Cardiac catheterization remains a major source of radiation exposure for patients
with congenital heart disease. This study reports the magnitude of radiation with a 3.75 …

Objectives Our objective was to determine if technical changes combined with radiation
safety initiatives reduced the radiation dose delivered to patients during congenital …

Objectives: This study aimed to characterize radiation dose during cardiac catheterization in
congenital heart disease and to assess changes in dose after the introduction of a radiation …

Introduction Reduction of radiation dosage in the pediatric cardiac catheterization laboratory
(PCL) is important to reduce the risk of its stochastic effect in children with congenital heart …

Objective: Radiation exposure during paediatric cardiac catheterisation procedures should
be minimised to “as low as reasonably achievable”. The aim of this study was to evaluate the …

Ionizing radiation exposure is a necessary risk entailed during congenital cardiac
catheterizations. The congenital catheterization lab at Yale New Haven Children's Hospital …

Background: Cardiac catheterization and angiography are diagnostic and therapeutic
imaging modalities that produce the highest X-ray radiation, which might impose lifelong …

Introduction Paediatric interventional cardiology procedures have grown in recent years.
The main disadvantage of these procedures is the high dose of radiation that patients …

Background Radiation reduction is an integral component in the management of a pediatric
cardiac catheterization laboratory. Simple and easily implementable protocol changes and …

Cardiac catheterizations are among the X-ray procedures with the highest patient radiation
dose and therefore are of great concern in pediatric settings. This study aimed to evaluate …
