The objective of this study is to examine the performance of new generation protection aprons as alternative to conventional lead aprons regarding their radiation protection effectiveness....
Radiation protection aprons made of lead-containing and lead-free materials from a total of seven companies were compared. Furthermore, different lead equivalent values of 0.25, 0.35 and 0.5 mm were c...
New generation aprons and conventional protection lead aprons showed a similar shielding performance at lower tube voltages below 90 kVp. When tube voltage was increased above 90 kVp, significant (p <...
We observed a similar radiation protection performance between conventional lead aprons and new generation aprons at low intensity radiation workplaces, with lead aprons being dominant for all energie...
To evaluate the radiation protection offered by an exoskeleton-based radiation protection system (Stemrad MD) and to compare it with that offered by conventional lead aprons....
The experimental setup involved 2 anthropomorphic phantoms, an operator, a patient, and a C-arm as the x-ray radiation source. Thermoluminescent detectors were used to measure radiation doses to diffe...
At the left radial position, the mean radiation dose (mGy) reduction by the exoskeleton compared with that by the lead apron was >90% for the left eye lens (0.22 ± 0.13 vs 5.18 ± 0.08; P < .0001), rig...
The exoskeleton-based system provided superior radiation protection to the physician compared with that provided by conventional lead aprons. The effects are particularly impactful for the brain, eye ...
Amifostine (AMF, also known as WR-2721) is the only approved broad-spectrum small-molecule radiation protection agent that can combat hematopoietic damage caused by ionizing radiation and is used as a...
In interventional radiology procedures, the operator typically stands on the right side of the patient's right thigh to manipulate devices through the femoral sheath. Because the standard x-ray protec...
This study aimed to compare the organ doses and effective dose received by the interventional radiologist when wearing the standard x-ray protective clothing and when wearing the modified clothing wit...
The experimental setup aimed to simulate actual clinical practice in interventional radiology. The patient phantom was located at the beam center to generate scatter radiation. An adult female anthrop...
After adding the shoulder guard, doses to the lungs, bone marrow, and esophagus decreased by 81.9%, 58.6%, and 58.7%, respectively, and the effective dose to the operator decreased by 47.7%....
Widespread use of modified x-ray protective clothing with shoulder guards can significantly decrease the overall occupational radiation risk in interventional radiology....
Radiation exposure in medical settings stands as the primary source of artificial radiation, compounded by the yearly rise in healthcare worker numbers. Ensuring radiation protection is crucial for sa...
This scoping review aims to explore the current status of research on radiation protection behavior and identify research gaps, intending to guide future research directions....
The scoping review will follow the Arksey and O'Malley framework and the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. A systematic search will be conducted across English databases including PubMed, Web of Sc...
A stakeholder consultation will provide an opportunity to validate the findings and address any potential gaps in the article. In this scoping review, all types of studies will be considered. The effe...

The performances of five RP devices (masks, caps, patient drapes, staff lead and lead-free aprons and Zero-Gravity (ZG) suspended radiation protection system) were assessed by means of Monte Carlo (MC...
An average dose reduction of 65% and 25% to the eyes and the brain respectively was obtained for the masks by MC simulations but a strong influence of the design was observed. The cap effectiveness fo...
All investigated devices showed potential for dose reduction to specific organs. However, for masks, caps and drapes, it strongly depends on the design, exposure conditions and staff position. Therefo...
The objective of this investigation is to assess the impact of supplementary lead curtains on the reduction of radiation dose exposure to operators during coronary interventional procedures. Seven sta...
On 25-26 March 2023, the U.S. National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) held its 2024 annual meeting in Bethesda, Maryland, USA. The NCRP dates from 1929, and this meeting celeb...
Imaging of structures of internal organs often requires ionizing radiation, which is a health risk. Reducing the radiation dose can increase the image noise, which means that images provide less infor...
This problem is observed in commonly used medical imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), angiograp...
Artificial intelligence (AI) can improve the quality of low-dose images and help minimize radiation exposure. Potential applications are explored, and frameworks and procedures are critically evaluate...
The performance of AI models varies. High-performance models could be used in clinical settings in the near future. Several challenges (e.g., quantitative accuracy, insufficient training data) must be...
To fully realize the potential of AI and deep learning (DL) in medical imaging, research and development must be intensified. In particular, quality control of AI models must be ensured, and training ...
Due to the radiation exposure for the urology staff during endourology, our aim was to evaluate the trends of radiation protection in the operation room by endourologists from European centers and to ...
We conducted a multicenter study involving experienced endourologists from different European centers to evaluate whether the protection and threshold doses recommended by the International Commission...
Ten endourologists participated. Most surgeons use lead aprons and thyroid shield (9/10 and 10/10), while leaded gloves and caps are rarely used (2/10 both). Six out of ten surgeons wear leaded glasse...
Endourologists did not exceed the threshold doses for radiation exposure to the chest, extremities and lens. Furthermore, the ALARA protocol manages to reduce radiation exposure....
