Radiation doses were investigated for 18 infants and children undergoing cardiac
catheterisation procedures with thermoluminescence dosemeters. The range of integrated …

The purpose of this study was to assess the suitability of different radiation dosimetry
methods and record radiation exposures during paediatric catheterization. Three methods of …

The purpose of this study was to estimate the radiation exposure of children, during cardiac
catheterisations for the diagnosis or treatment of congenital heart disease. Radiation doses …

Exposure area product (EAP) and center field entrance exposure (free-in-air) were
measured in seventeen pediatric patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. Exposures …

Few data are available regarding radiation exposure to children during cardiac
catheterization. Using lithium fluoride thermoluminescent dosimeters, radiation exposure …

In pediatric interventional cardiology, cardiologists need to stay closer to the patient than
during adult catheterization, and the use of biplane systems increases the scatter radiation …

This study reports findings from evaluations of new technologies to measure radiation
exposure during pediatric cardiac catheterization procedures. A strategy of pulsed …

Entrance surface radiation doses were measured with thermoluminescent dosimeters for 98
children who were referred to a cardiology department for the diagnosis or the treatment of a …

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 …

Thermoluminescent dosimetry was used to measure the radiation exposure to the skin,
thyroid and gonads in 50 consecutive pediatric patients undergoing cardiac catheterization …
