Radiation exposure of radiologists during different types of CT-guided interventions: an evaluation using dosimeters placed above and under lead protection.

CONCLUSION: Personal doses measured here were far below annual thresholds published by the International Commission on Radiological Protection. Therefore, performing multiple CT-guided interventions appears to be safe for interventional radiologists in terms of radiation exposure.
