Evaluation of a first of a kind robotic radiation protection technology to reduce scatter exposure during diagnostic procedures and percutaneous coronary interventions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Radiaction system in providing comprehensive protection to medical personnel during fluoroscopy-guided procedures in an Interventional Cardiology (IC) laboratory. The system confines the imaging beam and blocks scatter radiation at its source, enhancing safety for the Cath lab staff.

Methods

A prospective, non-randomized, controlled study compared real-time procedures with and without Radiaction. Sensors were placed around the room and on the main physician to measure radiation exposure during 82 diagnostic and 24 interventional cases without the Radiaction system and 65 diagnostic and 39 interventional cases with Radiaction.

Results

Results demonstrated a significant reduction in radiation exposure with the Rad
