Objective: Accurate assessment of a patient’s skin dose during interventional radiology (IVR) for spinal vascular lesions is challenging, particularly when the upper arms are positioned within the irradiation field. This study aimed to quantify the discrepancy between system-displayed dose values and actual skin dose, while assessing the impact of C-arm angulation on patient skin dose during spinal IVR.
Tada et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
