| Popis: | The operator of radiation exposure during coronary angiography varies between different centres. The purpose of this study was to explore whether radiation dose was lower during cardiologist- or radiographer-controlled radiation exposure and to determine if the grade of cardiologist performing angiography influenced radiation dose. Patients were randomly allocated either to cardiologist- or radiographer-controlled radiation exposure during coronary angiography. Screening time and radiation dose during fluoroscopy and image acquisition, measured by dose-area product meter, were recorded. Mean radiation dose during cardiologist-controlled radiation exposure (n=176) of 15.6 Gy cm(2) (95% confidence interval (CI), 14.4-16.8) was significantly lower than that produced by the radiographer-controlled group (n=192) of 17.3 Gy cm(2) (95% CI, 16.2-18.6) (p |
