Scopy Radiation exposure Kidney Phantom study

Abstract

This study examines the radiation dose levels to which the kidney is exposed during kidney stone fragmentation procedures that utilize scopy imaging. The assessment was conducted using the Alderson Rando phantom and Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD). The study examined various exposure parameters and measured the radiation dose to the kidney over time. The results suggest a direct correlation between exposure duration and radiation dose, emphasizing the need to monitor radiation levels during fluoroscopic interventions, especially due to the kidneys' sensitivity to radiation. Future research should concentrate on optimizing scopy settings to minimize radiation exposure while ensuring diagnostic accuracy and patient safety.
