The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of X-ray protective devices in reducing exposure to scatter radiation for medical staff at the side of the head end of the angiography system bed during interventions for structural heart disease. The ambient radiation dosage was measured, with and without X-ray protective equipment, to determine the rate of reduction of scatter radiation. The dosage tended to be higher at the working angle compared to the PA direction. When protective equipment was not used, the dosage tended to be higher at the side of the head end of the bed than at the operator's position. The dose was reduced by more than 90% compared to that without protective equipment by installing a protective device at the side of the head end of the bed. It is important to understand the spatial dose distribution at the working angle, and the installation of protective equipment at the side of the head end of the bed during SHD interventions can reduce the exposure of attending staff.</p>","PeriodicalId":74309,"journal":{"name":"Nihon Hoshasen Gijutsu Gakkai zasshi","volume":"81 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143383702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, we investigated the effects of image acquisition and reconstruction conditions on the method in this study and evaluated the robustness of the method. Firstly, we set a reference condition (80 kVp, 1080 mAs, full fan, full trajectory, 1800 projection number, iterative reconstruction) and nine other comparison conditions (80-125 kVp, 540-2160 mAs, half or full fan, full or half trajectory, 420-5400 projection number and iterative reconstruction or filtered back projection). Cone-beam computed tomography scans were performed under each condition before and after irradiation of the single gel dosimeter, and the position of the radiation isocenter relative to the image isocenter, beam isocentricity, and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) was measured. The differences compared to the reference were as follows: for isocenter distance, 0.0±0.1 mm on the X-axis, 0.0±0.2 mm on the Y-axis, and 0.1±0.3 mm on the Z-axis. The beam isocentricity was 0.0±0.2 mm. The CNR ranged from a maximum of 5.8 to a minimum of 2.6 in median comparisons. In contrast, compared to the results under the reference condition, the results under other conditions matched within a range of ±0.25 mm. This investigation showed that analysis is feasible within an uncertainty of 0.25 mm under imaging conditions where CNR is 3 or higher.</p>","PeriodicalId":74309,"journal":{"name":"Nihon Hoshasen Gijutsu Gakkai zasshi","volume":"81 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143383793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
