What is the occupational radiation exposure to staff in the electrophysiology laboratory and how can it be minimized?
Occupational radiation exposure in the EP lab is significant but can be substantially reduced using undercouch protective shields and optimal staff positioning.
Theocharopoulos et al. (2006) studied this question.
