“…Thanks to the reduction of exposure to radiation and to the simplicity of acquisition and recording of its digital data, the use of DSF in the investigation of uretro-vesical reflux (cystography) or of the digestive tract has greatly expanded [23]. DSF is more accessible and relatively inexpensive compared with CT and MRI [21].…”

“…Radiation exposure from spot images is distinct and additional to that from fluoroscopy; therefore, spot images during fluoroscopic procedures increased radiation exposure. Prior efforts have been made to reduce radiation dose by the use of last image hold in other fluoroscopic examinations ( 15 16 ). In our institution, a spot image was not taken from all spine interventions.…”

Fluoroscopy guidance is useful to confirm anatomical landmark and needle location for spine intervention; however, it can lead to radiation exposure in patients, physicians, and medical staff. Physicians who used fluoroscopy should be cognizant of radiation exposure and intend to minimize radiation dose. We retrospectively reviewed three lumbar spine intervention procedures (nerve root block, medial branch block, and facet joint block) at our institution between June and December, 2014. We performed 268 procedures on 220 patients and found significant difference in radiation dose between two groups classified by performing physicians. The physician who controlled the fluoroscopy unit directly used significantly shorter fluoroscopy (6 seconds) that resulted in a smaller radiation dose (dose area product [DAP] 0.59 Gy∙cm2) than the physician supervising the radiographer controlling the fluoroscopy unit (72 seconds, DAP 5.31 Gy∙cm2, P < 0.001). The analysis indicates that the difference in fluoroscopy time depends on whether a physician or a radiographer controls the fluoroscopy unit.

At Great Ormond Street Hospital we have the highest number of paediatric renal transplant patients in Europe, taking cases from across the United Kingdom and abroad. Our caseload includes many children with rare complicating medical problems and chronic renal failure related morbidity. This review aims to provide an overview of our experience of imaging children with chronic renal failure and transplants.

The efficacy of digital fluoroscopic image capture in the evaluation of vesicoureteral reflux in children

Abstract: Fluoroscopically captured images are adequate in documenting absence of VUR on VCUG examinations, obviating the need for radiographic spot images and resulting in reduction in radiation exposure.
