Abstract

Cardiologists often use fluoroscopic equipment for treatment such as cardiac implantable electronic device implantation, catheter ablation, percutaneous coronary intervention, and other procedures. Difficulties arise in protecting the head and optical lens from the exposure of radiation, which is a significant concern among physicians1,2. Currently available radiation protective clothing consists of a collar for the thyroid gland and a sleeveless apron. Although higher radiation protection can be expected by increasing the lead content of the protective clothing, there is a limit to additional lead content due to the increased weight.
