Occupational exposure in angiography (Prague workplaces).

Abstract:

:The results of measurements, which were performed at angiography departments, are presented. The aim of this work was not only to assess patient exposure but also to perform a survey of the occupational exposures of physicians during common angiography examinations of the skull, chest, abdomen and limbs. Patient data, type of examination, fluoroscopy time, the whole number of film frames, dose-area product (Diamentor E) and physician dose (Stephen 6000) were also recorded. There are many factors influencing the level of measured exposures. They include input parameters of X ray performance (kV, mA, projection, diaphragms, ZOOM, type of record etc) and individual approach of the physicians. This paper contributes to the discussion about the increasing exposures of the physicians specialising in diagnostic and interventional angiography.
