Impact of the Ceiling-Mounted Radiation Shielding Position on the Physician’s Dose from Scatter Radiation during Interventional Procedures

Table 1

Doses (μGy) from scatter radiation per 10 frames in cardiology for different projections (in each cell, dose without the use of shielding, with shielding placed close to the patient, and with shielding placed close to the physician. Digits in bold do not differ significantly at 0.05.).
