Radiation exposure in patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic papillotomy. 1978

P E Peters, and G Katz, and L Safrany, and R Weitemeyer

Radiation exposure was studied in 327 patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, or endoscopic papillotomy taking into account fluoroscopy time and incident area exposure. The mean fluoroscopy time was 238 +/- 152 seconds and the incident area exposure 3,730 +/- 2,790 R X cm2. These results were compared with standard exposures in upper GI series and colon examinations as found in the literature.

D011829 Radiation Dosage The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).
