  • Title: Radiation protection in interventional radiology.
    Author: Johnson DR, Kyriou J, Morton EJ, Clifton A, Fitzgerald M, Macsweeney E.
    Journal: Clin Radiol; 2001 Feb; 56(2):99-106. PubMed ID: 11222065.
    Abstract:
    There is growing concern regarding the radiation dose delivered during interventional procedures, particularly in view of the increasing frequency and complexity of these techniques. This paper reviews the radiation dose levels currently encountered in interventional procedures, the consequent risks to operators and patients and the dose reduction that may be achieved by employing a rigorous approach to radiation protection.
