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 …

Interventional cardiology procedures usually imply high doses to the staff, as paediatric
cardiologists need to stay closer to the patient than during adult procedures. Also, biplane …

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

Over the years, permissible radiation exposure of operators working with x-ray equipment
has become progressively reduced. The number of cardiac catheterizations and related …

The objective was to investigate paediatric doses in coronary angiography (CA) and
percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in the largest cardiac hospital in …

The purpose of this study was to measure radiation exposure levels in children undergoing
cardiac catheterization. This information was used to assess methods of reducing exposure …

Interventional cardiology procedures result in substantial patient radiation doses due to
prolonged fluoroscopy time and radiographic exposure. The procedures that are most …

Patient and staff dose values in an interventional cardiology laboratory for different
operational modes and several patient thicknesses (from 16 to 28 cm, simulated using …

The accuracy of two on line dosimetric techniques was investigated for the estimation of
cardiologist doses. The first technique involves the establishment of a database relating the …

The purpose of this investigation was to measure the patient and staff dose during routine
interventional cardiology procedures for an image intensifier-based and a flat detector …
