Novel X-ray shield cuts radiation exposure to the operator by greater than 80 per cent: Study
Norway: Radiation shielding is necessary during cardiac catheterization, but there is a need to improve ease of use and efficacy. A recent study published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions sought to evaluate the shielding effect and user feedback for a novel flexible multiconfiguration x-ray shield (FMX). The researchers found that the reusable and flexible radiation shield […]
