Impact of Ceiling Suspended Shield Size on Primary Operator Radiation Dose During Coronary Angiography and Intervention
In this study, with identical cath labs, and similar procedural dose and fluoroscopy times, OD was up to 43% lower with a larger lead acrylic shield when compared to a standard lead acrylic shield.
