Description
A team of twelve authors measures radiation dose to staff during hip surgery in this 2023 study. X-ray imaging guides such surgery, but staff absorb some dose each case, and dose may depend on the angle of the imaging beam.
The team staged hip surgery on seven cadavers, with mannequins standing in for the surgeon, nurse, and anesthetist, each wearing dose meters at the eye, thyroid, chest, and other sites. Three minutes of side imaging gave the surgeon far higher doses than the same time of front imaging, up to about twenty times higher at the hand. The results argue for care with beam angle and shielding in the operating room.
