| Popis: | The purpose of this study was to educate operators regarding cardiac catheterization using radiation protection slides prepared for this study and to consider whether or not this radiation protection education contributes to reducing the exposure of the operator's ocular lens. Thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) was installed at the outside left, inside left, outside right, and inside right of the X-ray protective eyewear of the operators performing the cardiac catheterization. The exposure dose rate before and after radiation protection education for 3 operators performing cardiac catheterization was compared. The exposure dose ratio was defined by dividing the TLD measurement value, which is the air kerma calculated by the X-ray diagnosis apparatus for the angiography. In other words, this can calculate the ratio of how much the operators are exposed to radiation from the dose of the patient per examination. When comparing the radiation dose ratio obtained from the dosimeter installed on the right outer side before and after education, p-value was |
