Doses from Medical X‐Ray Procedures Standardized radiation dose estimates can be given for a number of typical diagnostic medical procedures. We are not able to give radiation dose estimates for procedures involving radiation therapy these need to be handled very carefully on a case‐by‐ case basis.
On basis of dosimetric measurement this article compares the radiation doses received by the main interventional cardiologist during the angiographic procedures. The dose load during three procedures is compared LAD stenting LCx stenting and RCA stenting. An angiographic X ray system Philips Allura Xper FD10 with G arm was used. The dose obtained was measured

Apr 01 2018 The relevant radiation concern in pediatric interventions is largely the potential stochastic effect and the current understanding that the risk in younger patients is greater than in adults. 19 23 Unlike in CT quantifying the radiation burden in angiographic procedures is a difficult and protracted process. Many variables complicate dosimetry

Diagnostic and minimally invasive interventions in the cardiac catheterisation laboratory cath lab are now routine in the management of children with congenital heart disease CHD . Children may present at any age including as neonates for elective or emergency procedures. The majority of procedures require the child to be anaesthetised.
