Phantom-Based Evaluation of Scatter Radiation at Clinically Relevant Positions in Fluoroscopy-Guided Cardiac Procedures
Scatter radiation distribution around the x-ray table is highly dependent on the radiographic projection, with disproportionately high radiation dose levels around the head of the x-ray table and below it. This standardized method for measuring SR systematically may facilitate the assessment of enhanced radiation protection systems.
