A Novel Radiation Shield for Interventional Echocardiographers With Application During Structural Heart Disease Procedures
Through assessment of clinical usability using a shape prototype model and Monte Carlo simulations, a novel radiation shield with practical use was developed for interventional echocardiographers. Clinical studies and simulations demonstrated that this shield is practical for transesophageal echocardiography monitoring and guidance while providing sufficient radiation protection during structural heart disease procedures.
