PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Radiation safety has been at the center of interest of both researchers and healthcare institutions. This review will summarize and shed light on the various techniques adapted to reduce staff exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) in the field of cardiac imaging.
RECENT FINDINGS: In the last years, with the advance of awareness and the development of new technologies, there have been several tools and techniques adapted. The breakthrough of several technologies to lower radiation dose and shorten the duration of diagnostic tests associated with IR, the use of protection devices by staff members, and mostly the awareness of exposure to IR are the hallmark of these advances. Using all these measures has led to a significant decrease in staff exposure to IR. Reducing staff exposure to meet the "As Low As Reasonably Achievable" principle is feasible. This review introduces the most important strategies applied in cardiac imaging.
