Researchers offer age-specific dose estimator for fluoroscopy exams

AuntMinnie

A team of researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital has developed an age-specific dose catalog for estimating radiation exposure to children from diagnostic and interventional radiology fluoroscopy procedures. They analyzed metrics to estimate age-specific effective dose per IR procedure type and diagnostic fluoroscopy exam.

PCN placement leads to greater radiation exposure for pregnant women

AuntMinnie

Based on discussions with our interventional radiology colleagues, dislodged PCNs or severe encrustation may result in much longer and more complex procedures, including the potential need for entirely new access into the collecting system, thereby resulting in higher fluoroscopy use,” Lyon and colleagues wrote.
