摘要
With the growing number of fluoroscopic guided endoscopic procedures, radiation-related risk needs to be further assessed. Recent evidence indicates that radiation cataractogenesis occurs at a lower dose threshold than previously believed. While body aprons and thyroid shields are well-established standard protection during fluoroscopy, ocular safety and the use of protective eyewear are not as well defined. This prospective study answered two important questions: Does the standard body dosimeter provide an accurate ocular dosimetry? And what is the time of fluoroscopy needed to warrant using lens protection? It also raises the question whether current guidelines need to be updated.
