For the IR procedures special attention should be given to the
0.20
embolisations, especially to the doses to the eye lenses.
Operators are also significantly exposed during therapeutic

procedures such as angioplasties of the lower limbs and the renal
0.10
arteries.

should be taken regarding the use of a ceiling suspended shield,
for the protection of the eyes, especially when over couch
systems are used.
