  • Title: [Radiation dosage of the surgery from intraoperative roentgen procedures: risks and dose management in the operating room].
    Author: Fuchs M, Schmid A, Eiteljörge T, Modler H, Stürmer KM.
    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir Suppl Kongressbd; 1998; 115():1111-3. PubMed ID: 9931807.
    Abstract:
    A prospective study of 24 operative procedures with fluoroscopic guidance was undertaken to measure the radiation exposure of the primary surgeon. The dose received per procedure ranged from 0.6 to 259.3 microSv and was well within the government guidelines. An in vitro study during lateral fluoroscopy proved the position of the surgeon close to the image converter was irradiated with less scatter.
