Chapter 13: Radiation-related complications
performing cerebral embolization procedures, special consideration should be given to the dose to the lens of the eye.
The equipment used for any interventional procedure must be able to estimate and display cumulative dose in mGy and DA P measurements. Monitoring radiation measure­ments throughout the procedure helps in reducing exposure to the patient. The radiation dose level notification helps the interventionalist by allowing him or her to add the previous radiation dose levels already received by the patient.
If the patient is pregnant, the interventionalist and the medical physicist should evaluate the potential risk to the embryo or fetus prior to the start of the procedure. Limiting the dose to the embryo or fetus to no more than 50 mGy should be considered. Avoiding exposure to the embryo or fetus from the primary beam will greatly reduce exposure. The dose can be minimized by using a low dose mode, employing narrow beam collimation, and reducing the number of fluorography images.
The FDA recommends that the patient dose information be recorded in the patient’s record at the conclusion of each procedure, as this permits estimation of the cumulative absorbed dose to the skin from all procedures. All patients with estimated skin doses of 3 Gy should be followed up 10–14 days post exposure. A system to identify repeat procedures should be set up for managing the dose to the patient.
Radiation protection program
All radiation exposures should be kept As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA). At times, the interventionalist’s hands are in the primary beam, resulting in high exposure to the hands. In addition, the operator and the staff in the fluoroscopy procedure room are exposed to leakage radiation from the X-ray tube, as well as scatter radiation from the patient. The leakage radiation from the X-ray tube ranges from 0.001 to 0.01 mGy/h at 1 meter. The staff assisting the interventionalist may receive about 0.1% of patient entrance radiation exposure at 1 meter from the patient. While planning an interventional suite, a radiation protection program must be established to shield an existing or new facility to limit the radiation exposure levels to no more than 0.1 mGy/yr, including the control room, to protect the employees and the public. Each individual present in the interventional procedure room should receive annual radiation safety training, including some dry runs of the clinical procedure with appropriate dose reduction techniques.
ICRP and NCRP recommend that the dose to the embryo or fetus of a pregnant radiation worker should be no more than 0.05 mGy per month. It is very difficult to estimate the dose to the embryo or fetus, but the ICRP and NCRP recommend approxi­mating it by taking half of the measured dose on the dosimeter inside the lead apron to the estimate dose to the embryo or fetus.
Based on the recent data, the ICRP the occupational radiation worker’s lens of the eye to 20 mSv/yr averaged over 5 years and 50 mSv in any single year.

Use of dosimeters and personal protective equipment
For measuring occupational radiation exposure and compliance with regulatory agency requirements, the interventional fluoroscopy operators and staff in the procedure rooms must wear a collar badge and a whole body badge. A collar badge, worn outside the lead apron and at the collar level, is used to measure skin and thyroidal doses, whereas the whole
209
Chapter 13: Radiation-related complications
body badge, worn inside the lead apron between the neck and the waist, is used to measure a whole body effective dose. During the procedure, the operator ’s hands may be exposed to a primary beam. A ring dosimeter may be used by the operator for measuring the dose to the fingers and hands.
Employers are responsible for providing radiation protective equipment, including mobile leaded shields for all employees who have potential to receive radiation exposures during interve ntional procedures. Evidence demonstrates that staff working within a one (1) meter distance from the X-ray tube or the patient interventional reference point receive higher radiation exposure. All personnel present in the endoscopy procedure room, except the staff behind the mobile leaded shield, must wear a radiation protective garment to shield them from scatter radiation. The thickness of the radiation protective garment (lead apron) should be sufficient to attenuate scatter radiation. The lead apron should be of an acceptable weight; to reduce the weight, a lightweight apron made up of non-lead materials (composite materials) that have the same attenuation or better may be used. A 0.5 mm lead or lead­equivalent material attenuates the incident radiation (scatter X-rays) by approximately 95%.
The thyroid gland is sensitive to radiation, and exposure may lead to radiation-induced cancer. To protect the thyroid from such stochastic effects, a thyroid collar with 0.5 mm lead or lead-equivalent material must be worn at all times during the fluoroscopy procedure.
It is known that high radiation exposure may occur to the eye lens of a physician performing endovascular procedures. To keep the exposures ALARA, leaded eye glasses, corrected to prescription, sized, and fitted to the individual’s face, should be worn to protect the lens of the eye . Where practical, it is advisable to use ceiling-mounted, clear leaded glass while performing any fluoroscopy procedures. Ceiling-mounted leaded glass provides protection to the whole head, including the eyes.
Reduction of hand exposure can be achieved using flexible, sterile, radiation-attenuating surgical gloves during the procedure. Transparent mobile leaded shields are beneficial in protecting the required anci llary staff present during fluoroscopy procedures. Leaded flaps, which are mounted at the side of the table, are designed to protect the lower extremities of the operator and should not be removed from the table.
Techniques to minimize radiation exposure to patient and staff
Increasing the distance between the X-ray tube and the patient skin entrance area greatly reduces the exposure to the patient and reduces the potential injury to the skin. In addition, it reduces scatter radiation to the staff. The law that relates to distance is the “inverse squar e law,” which states that the radiation exposure decreases inversely proportional to the square of distance. If the distance is doubled between the operator and the source of radiation, the radiation exposure decreases to a quarter of the original exposure. Since increasing the
distance reduces exposure to staff, the NCRP recommends that personnel stand at least 2 meters away from the X-ray tube, whenever possible. As per the FDA regulations, most
of the fluoroscopy units come with a spacer device which is placed on the X-ray port area to maintain minimum separation from the skin to the X-ray port area. Radiation exposure intensity is decreased with spacer use owing to the increase in distance from the patient’s skin, thereby reducing potential injury to the skin.
A typical fluoroscopic system is equipped with an X-ray “beam-on” foot pedal. Most units also hav e a beam-on button or a switch that the user can operate by hand. This is
210
Chapter 13: Radiation-related complications
called a “ dead man” switch. When pressure is applied on the “ dead man” switc h, X-rays are produced. When the operator is not observing the monitor during the procedure, the pressure on the switch should be released to turn off continuous X-ray production. Using short taps of the fluoroscopy beam-on control reduces the exposure to the patient. Keeping the image recepto r as close to the patient as possible not only reduces scatter radiation to the operator and the staff, but also minimizes the concentration of X-rays at the patient’ s skin surface. Also, if the collim ator is tightly confined to the area of interest, this reduces the patient’s total skin entrance exposure, improves the contrast, and decreases the scatter radiation exposure to the staff. Utilizing the lowest magnification modes consistent with clinical procedure optimizes the radiation exposure to the patient. Scatter radiation distorts the image quality. A flat plate called a gr id, which is placed in front of the image intensifier, improves the image contrast by stopping the scatter radiation. Using low dose mode or a lower pulse rate when possible minimizes exposure to the patient. Positioning the X-ray tube underneath the patient table reduces scatter radiation to the operator. For lateral and oblique projections, posi tion the C-arm so that the X-ray tube is on the opposite side of the patient from where you are working. This will reduce the scatter radiation reaching the operator

.
Sometimes a physician’s height complicates the procedure and increases the radiation exposure to the patient. Tall operators can maintain good geometry; however, for the vertically challenged operator, the tabl e height needs to be lowered. This brings the patient nearer to the X-ray source and causes a higher radiation dose to the patient. Using long extension tubing from the manifold to the cathe ter reduces a physician’shand exposure. Inadvertent use of the biplane system ( by activating both lateral and frontal X-ray tubes) with exposure to the same skin area, as shown in Figure 13.5,maycause serious skin injury.

Chapter 13: Radiation-related complications
Summary
An operator’s body and lens of the eye receive high radiation exposures from scatter radiation. Hands in the primary beam also receive a large radiation dose. In addition, the patient receives hi gher radiation exposure at the X-ray beam entrance site. These proced­ures require the operator to wear and use protective devices. Careful manipulation of the equipment is required to reduce exposure to the patient and the staff. At each institution, a committee that includes physicians, technologists, medical physicists, and administrators should be formed to discuss problems that complicate procedures and corrective actions to prevent such complications. Neurointerventionalists should adhere to basic radiation protection ALARA principles to achieve the desired safety parameters.
