OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to establish procedure-specific air kerma-area
product (KAP) and effective dose for a large number of fluoroscopically guided interventional …

Purpose Intraoperative fluoroscopy use is essential during spinal fusion procedures. The
amount of radiation dose should always be minimized. This study aimed to determine the …

In this study, the effect of patient-and procedure-related parameters on organ doses (ODs),
peak skin dose (PSD) and effective dose (E) during anterior cervical discectomy and fusion …

The purpose of the current study was to provide useful data, which may help neurosurgeons
to manage the patient dose and image quality in spinal surgery procedures, utilising a …

In this study, the effect of patient-and procedure-related parameters on organs' dose (OD),
peak skin dose (PSD) and effective dose (ED) during lumbar discectomy and fusion (LDF) …

A survey was conducted to evaluate the role of the surgeon and the patients' body size, on
patient radiation dose in fluoroscopically guided lumbar discectomy and fusion (LDF) …

Patient dose values varied significantly during interventional procedures, mainly due to the
patient size, operators' choices and clinical complexity. In this study, the effect of applying a …

The need for radiation protection in a complex interventional treatment that involves
computed tomography (CT) or fluoroscopy can sometimes be overlooked. Any radiation …

In this chapter, the problem, methodological approach and the research studies are outlined.
The present thesis was developed to address a number of radiological protection issues …
