COVERING THE PATIENT’S ARM SUPPORT IN LEAD REDUCED THE RADIATION DOSE RATE TO THE CARDIOLOGISTS DURING PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTIONS: A PHANTOM STUDY
Abstract
The aim of the study was to estimate organ dose rate reduction to a female anthropomorphic phantom, which simulated the cardiologist, during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) when the patient’s arm support was covered with 0.4-mm lead foil. Organ dose rates were determined using five radiation detectors inserted into the left eye, left thyroid, left breast, left liver lobe and uterus of the phantom. A male anthropomorphic phantom was...
