To determine the appropriateness of using an anti-scatter grid in pediatric diagnostic fluoroscopy.

Congenital heart defects are the most common type of birth defect, and their management often requires lifelong medical care. Interventional cardiology procedures frequently rely on imaging modalities that use ionizing radiation, potentially exposing pediatri...

Radiation Dose Index Monitoring Systems (RDIMs) can report and track estimated organ and effective doses from CT scans. However, the methods to estimate these doses are not standardized. The purpose of this initial study was to assess the feasibility of perfo...

To develop an open-source universal software for benchmarking signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) in annual fluoroscopy evaluations. This method provides an objective and reproducible measure of image quality as an alternative to qua...

With the Joint Commission’s (TJC) establishment of fluoroscopy-specific standards (effective January 1, 2019), typical exposure rates and low-contrast performance became required performance evaluations during annual surveys for all accredited institutions. T...
