Impact of Patient Head Posture on Lens Radiation Exposure During Cerebral Angiography
Our findings underscore the meaningful impact of head posture on lens radiation exposure during cerebral angiography. Adjusting head positioning may provide a practical approach to reduce radiation exposure to the lens. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the left lens received more radiation than the right, likely due to the x-ray source being on the left side of the patient.
