Özet

Background: Although fluoroscopy-guided interventional therapies have declined in recent years, radiation exposure remains a critical issue for both patients and medical staff. Radiation exposure varies according to the physicians' experience, procedure time, patients' body mass index (BMI), imaging techniques, and the type of procedure performed.
