The measurement of quantities related to patient dose for optimisation of protection in
medical imaging with ionising radiation began more than half a century ago. Beginning in …

The skin tissue has the largest area in the human body and functions as both a barrier and a
defender. As such, it tends to be the first tissue to be damaged. Advances in medical …

OBJECTIVE. Recent articles discussing cases of brain cancer in interventionalists have
raised concerns regarding the hazards of occupational exposure to ionizing radiation. We …

Purpose: Neurovascular interventional procedures using biplane fluoroscopic imaging
systems can lead to increased risk of radiation‐induced skin injuries. The authors developed …

Purpose: Skin dosimetry is important for fluoroscopically‐guided interventions, as peak skin
doses (PSD) that result in skin reactions can be reached during these procedures. There is …

Objective. Patient dose estimation in x-ray-guided interventions is essential to prevent
radiation-induced biological side effects. Current dose monitoring systems estimate the skin …

Objectives There is potential for high radiation exposure during neurointerventional
procedures. Increasing regulatory requirements mandate dose monitoring of patients and …
