Risk of Radiation-induced Cataracts Among Interventional Cardiology Staff

NCT02837562 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2019-01-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of the present study is to evaluate the prevalence of radiation-associated lens opacities among interventional cardiology staff members (such as physicians, technicians, and nurses) and determine its association with occupational history.

The hypothesis of the study is that interventional cardiology staff will have high prevalence of radiation-induced lens opacities, which will be higher than non-interventional cardiology staff and will correlate with the estimated cumulative lifetime dose.
