Influence of Scan Field of View on Operator Radiation Exposure in Computed Tomography Fluoroscopy

Key Points

• To evaluate how the scan field of view influences operator radiation exposure during CT fluoroscopy.
• Conducted experiments during CT-guided interventional radiology procedures.
• Assessed radiation exposure levels in different scan field settings.
• Compared results to determine the impact of varying fields of view.
• Found that larger scan fields increase radiation exposure to operators.
• Smaller scan fields were associated with reduced exposure levels.
