Systematic review highlights disparities in radiation exposure between primary operators and ancillary staff.

Higher radiation exposure may be experienced by unshielded workers at the patient's head compared to primary operators.
Meta-analysis based on 8116 measurements across 3091 procedures indicates significant differences in exposure levels.
Results reveal shielded personnel at secondary positions receive much lower radiation compared to primary operators.
The findings emphasize the need for dedicated shielding solutions and protecting all lab personnel.

Balázs et al. (2025) studied this question.
