"Safety and effectiveness of strategies to reduce radiation exposure to" by Ritin Fernandez, Laura Ellwood et al.
Objective: The objective of this systematic review was to synthesize the best available evidence on the effect of various radiation protection strategies on radiation dose received by proceduralists performing cardiac catheterization procedures involving fluoroscopy.
