How is a patient's dose of radiation from cardiac catheterization minimized?
using lead shielding in the form of blankets or pads over certain body parts and by choosing the appropriate dose during fluoroscopy.

What is seivert?
The sievert is a unit of radiation dose equivalent, used to measure the biological effect of ionizing radiation on living tissue. It takes into account the type of radiation, the energy of the radiation, and the specific tissues or organs affected. The sievert is the standard unit for measuring radiation doses in the International System of Units (SI).
How many radiation treatments can a cancer patient have?
Radiation treatments are delivered in as little as one to as many as 45 treatments. It is not so much the number of treatments, but the total dose of radiation and it's biological effect on the structures within the treatment.
How do you Calculate annual radiation dose?
There are various tools available that you can use to calculate your annual radiation dose. You need to provide the required values to get the dose.
