Effect of Exposure Angulation on the Occupational Radiation Exposure during Cardiac Angiography: Simulation Study

Cardiac angiography to visualize the cardiac coronary artery for lesions causes a lot of radiation exposure dose to the interventional cardiologist. We evaluated the occupational radiation exposure to the interventional cardiologist based on changes to the angle of the X-ray tube used in cardiac angiography and calculated the conversion factor for effective dose in this study. To evaluate the occupational radiation exposure resulting from...
