Opis

The risk of radiation exposure is increasing with the development of minimally invasive techniques in orthopedic surgery. This has prompted the application of certain protective measures such as the wearing of lead aprons. However, these aprons do not protect the whole body, hence the interest of double dosimetry.We evaluated the exposure of orthopedic surgeons to IR, calculated the degree of radiation attenuation by the protective aprons.
