The Value of Composite Protective Shields in Exposure Reduction During Interventional Procedure

Interventional procedures guided by fluoroscopy often expose patients and physicians to significant radiation. The use of composite protective shields during these procedures plays a critical role in minimizing radiation exposure, particularly in larger patients who require longer fluoroscopic times. While the benefits of these procedures usually outweigh the risks, prolonged exposure can lead to serious long-term health consequences for both patients and healthcare providers. Understanding and utilizing effective shielding techniques is essential for improving safety in clinical practice.
