Ocular Radiation Exposure of the Primary Operator Performing Selective Coronary Angiography From a Radial Artery Approach
Radiation exposure to the LE compared with the RE of interventional cardiologists is significantly more during selective coronary angiography using a radial artery approach. The authors recommend the use of radioprotective glasses in conjunction with an optimally placed ceiling-mounted shield to minimize ocular radiation exposure.
