Operator dose and adjusted dose reduction relative to R0L0
Shielding Group | Mean Operator Dose (μSv) | Standard Error | Dose Relative to R0L0: Adjusted for PKA | Significance |
---|---|---|---|---|
R0L0 | 29.1 | 0.212 | NA | NA |
R1L0 | 19.5 | 0.211 | 0.78 | P < .001 |
R0L1 | 17.7 | 0.211 | 0.55 | P = .026 |
R1L1 | 15.9 | 0.213 | 0.56 | P < .001 |
Note:—NA indicates not applicable; R0L1, standard lead shielding; R0L0, no shielding; R1L0, use of the RADPAD drape; R1L1, concomitant use of the 2 shielding systems together.
