AB  - Radiation exposure during cardiac catheterization can result in injury to both the operator and the patient. Operator exposure has been associated with cataract formation [Ciraj-Bjelac O et al. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2010] and implicated in brain tumors [Roguin A et al. EuroIntervention 2012]. This article presents results of the Effect of a Real Time Radiation Monitoring Device on Radiation Exposure During Cardiac Catheterization trial [RadiCure; NCT01510353].
