Radiation safety for health care workers in the bronchoscopy suite

P Jain et al. Clin Chest Med. 1999 Mar.

Abstract

Increased use of fluoroscopy during flexible bronchoscopy has raised concerns about radiation safety of health care workers in the bronchoscopy suite. We review the potential health risks associated with occupational radiation exposure, the monitoring devices available, and discuss the measures to reduce radiation exposure during flexible bronchoscopy.
