Intraoperative patient radiation dose from cone-beam computed tomography in thoracic surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Several methods can be used to intraoperatively identify pulmonary lesion using radiation technology. However, little is known about patient radiation exposure during chest surgery. We aimed to measure patients' radiation exposure from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) used in a hybrid operating room.

Methods

This retrospective study included patients who underwent surgical treatment in a hybrid operating room between April 2019 and December 2023 at the Teikyo University Hospital. All data was obtained prospectively, but the study was approved by the IRB as a retrospective study because of repeated extensions of study period in order to collect more cases. Skin radiation exposure was measured using five wearable dosimeters per patient. The measurements were com
