Description
Md Fakhrul Islam Khaled leads a 2026 study measuring radiation exposure during heart catheter procedures in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Angiography and stent work save lives yet expose staff to ionizing radiation daily. Two catheter labs at Bangladesh Medical University were monitored over six months.
Seven hundred seventy-six routine procedures were analyzed, most in men aged forty-six to sixty-five and most reached through the leg artery. Each case averaged about fourteen imaging views and eight minutes of screening. Complex cases, wrist access, and stent use each raised views, time, and dose. Operator dose was measured at four working positions and projected to yearly totals. Safety officers gain local numbers where routine monitoring had been limited. The findings support tighter dose tracking and technique choices that protect long-serving lab teams.
