Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the radiation dose to patient at two positions (prone and left lateral) and to medical staff during Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure using dose area product (DAP) meter and thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD). Data were recorded on 20 patients at prone position and 20 patients at left lateral position.

Conditions

  • Exposure to Ionizing Radiation

Interventions

RADIATION

The radiographic-fluoroscopic system

Fluoroscopy was used during ERCP procedure. With automatic brightness adjustment, patients with thicker body will get greater radiation dose.
