Effect of a Real Time Radiation Monitoring Device on Radiation Exposure During Cardiac Catheterization

Completed · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Radiation Monitoring, Radiation Protection

In brief

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of using a real time radiation exposure monitoring device on the patient and operator radiation exposure during cardiac catheterization. The hypothesis of the study is that use of a real time radiation exposure monitoring device during cardiac catheterization will decrease both patient and operator radiation exposure compared to no use of the monitoring device.
