Performance of a Dedicated Radioprotection Cabin for the Interventional Echocardiographer During Structural Heart Procedures
This preliminary study suggests that radioprotection of the interventional echocardiographer can be increased during structural procedures by using a dedicated cabin. Further studies with larger sample sizes and different design will be needed to confirm the reduction in irradiation of the echocardiographer.
