Strategies to Reduce Radiation Exposure in Electrophysiology and Interventional Cardiology

Clinical diagnosis sometimes involves the use of medical instruments that employ ionizing radiation. However, ionizing radiation exposure is a workplace hazard that goes undetected and is detrimental to patients and staff in the catheterization laboratory. Every possible effort should be made to red...
