Extremity and Eye Lens Doses of the Staff during Interventional Radiology Procedures – First Results

Interventional radiology procedures have become more complex over the last years and new methods have been implemented in clinical practice. Taking into account the long fluoroscopy times and the large number of images needed for a good clinical outcome, the occupational exposure is an important issue that needs thorough investigation. So far many studies have been performed on this field but there is no systematic data analysis on the exposures of the medical staff. The ORAMED project started in order to fill the above gap and improve the standards of radiation protection.
