Abstract
The radiological techniques used in cardiac catherisation and angiocardiography at Brompton Hospital are described. The radiation doses to the skin, bone marrow and gonads in a series of 91 patients are estimated. The doses delivered during the various procedures are critically analysed and the results are presented in a manner which should enable other centres to make a reasonable assessment of patient dose.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
