Intraoperative patient radiation dose from cone-beam computed tomography in thoracic surgery
We found that the patient's 5th to 8th intercostal space was the most radiation exposed area by intraoperative CBCT imaging because the CBCT movement was restricted by the patient's arm, anesthesia machine, and operating table during chest surgery. In future, it is strongly required to research for radiation protection in this area. Furthermore, performing no more than three scans intraoperatively may be preferable in order to protect patients from radiation exposure during CBCT guided thoracic surgery.
