Popis: Abstract Background Real-time dosimeters may create a relatively safer environment not only for the patient but also for the physician and the assistant as well. We propose the use of a real-time radiation measurement dosimeter having auditory feedback to reduce radiation exposure. Methods Radiation dose rates were measured for 30 fluoroscopy-guided puncturing procedures of femoral arteries in swine. Fifteen puncturing procedures were performed with real-time radiation measurement dosimeter having auditory feedback and other 15 were performed without auditory feedback dosimeter by an interventional cardiologist with 10 years of experience. Results The left body side of the operating physician (38%, p
