Abstract

Background

This study evaluated the effectiveness of scatter radiation reduction with the EggNest Complete shielding system compared to standard catheterization laboratory shielding.

Methods

Vertical poles with mounted radiation survey meters were positioned at six points around a catheterization laboratory imaging table where procedural staff usually stand. Meters were mounted on vertical tracks where the sensor could be raised on the track with stops every 20 cm (up to 200 cm). Fluoroscopy (15 frames per second) was then performed on an anthropomorphic phantom with a cardiac silhouette in PA and four quadrant angulations using a Toshiba Infinx fixed C-arm X-ray system with a 12″ detector. Scatter radiation measurements were reported in μSv/h under three radiation shielding conditions: no shielding, standard catheterization laboratory lead shielding, and the EggNest Complete system.

Results

Average scatter radiation levels in all angulations were significantly higher below the x-ray table and at the positions near the head of the table (1862 ± 340 μSv/h at the head vs. 605 ± 316 μSv/h below the phantom waist, p < 0.05). Using the EggNest Complete system compared to standard shielding, average radiation exposure in all x-ray angulations and positions was reduced by 92.5 ± 3.9 % (83 ± 103 compared to 1087 ± 898 μS/h, p < 0.01). At the Operator and Assistant positions, scatter radiation averaged 9 ± 4 μSv/h using the EggNest Complete (98 ± 1 % reduction compared to no shielding, p < 0.01), 147 ± 101 μSv/h using Standard Shielding (75 ± 8 % reduction compared to no shielding, p < 0.01), and 605 ± 316 μSv/h without shielding.

Conclusion

Compared to standard shielding, the EggNest Complete system significantly reduced radiation levels at all positions around the x-ray table. At the operator and Assistant positions, EggNest complete provided 98 % reduction in scatter radiation dose.

EggNest完全屏蔽系统与Cath实验室标准屏蔽的比较效果
本研究评估了EggNest完全屏蔽系统与标准导管实验室屏蔽相比降低散射辐射的有效性。方法置管室显像台周围6个点放置安装有辐射测量仪的垂直杆。仪表安装在垂直轨道上,传感器可以在轨道上抬起,每20厘米(最多200厘米)停止一次。然后使用东芝Infinx固定c臂x射线系统和一个12″探测器对拟人化幻影进行透视检查(每秒15帧),在PA和四个象限角度处显示心脏轮廓。在无屏蔽、标准导管实验室铅屏蔽和EggNest Complete系统三种辐射屏蔽条件下,以μSv/h为单位测量了散射辐射。结果x线台以下及近头部位置各角度散射辐射水平(头部1862±340 μSv/h,腰部605±316 μSv/h)均显著高于x线台以下及近头部位置;0.05)。与标准屏蔽相比,使用EggNest Complete系统,所有x射线角度和位置的平均辐射暴露减少了92.5±3.9%(83±103)μS/h,而1087±898 μS/h, p <;0.01)。在操作员和助手位置,使用EggNest Complete的散射辐射平均为9±4 μSv/h(与不屏蔽相比减少98±1%),p <;0.01),与无屏蔽相比降低了75±8% (p <;0.01),无屏蔽时为605±316 μSv/h。结论与标准屏蔽相比,EggNest Complete系统显著降低了x光台周围所有位置的辐射水平。在操作员和助理岗位上,EggNest complete可将散射辐射剂量降低98%。
