Abstract

For over 100 years, radiation exposure has concerned physicians. Currently, most spine surgeons utilize imaging modalities that rely on radiation in the operating room on a near-daily basis. Recommendations on limits to radiation exposure and ways to minimize that radiation exposure should be familiar to all spine surgeons. Here we review both radiation exposure in the operating room as well as multiple strategies, technologies, and techniques that allow for surgeons to minimize radiation exposure to themselves, their staff, and the patient.
