Personal Protective Equipment Availability and Utilisation Among Interventionali

Ionizing radiation is increasingly being used for diagnostic, therapeutic, and interventional procedures in medicine. The technology has advanced, resulting in equipment emitting lower radiation doses; however, procedures have become more complex and longer in duration, and this poses an increased occupational health risk to radiation healthcare workers (HCWs) [1], [2]. The increase in fluoroscopic procedures necessitates the implementation of a culture of radiation protection (CRP) to produce a safer workplace [3].
