Individual Dosimetric Monitoring of Workers During Interventional

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to review the results of annual radiation doses received by interventional cardiologists and radiologists in France. The results of this study will allow the improvement of classification of interventional cardiology and radiology activities and procedures to help define radiation dose constraints for occupational exposure, according to the number and types of procedures performed. The study is based on the hypothesis that some specialties in interventional cardiology (cardiology or rythmology procedures) and in interventional radiology (vascular, neuroradiology, osteoarticular) and some types of procedures present greater exposure risks for interventional cardiologists and radiologists. It is expected that the annual radiation dose limits for workers can be exceeded if good practices for both patient and worker radiation protection are not applied. Also, dosimetry equipment used to detect radiation dose although provided to the workers are not systematically worn by the physician during the procedure . The study is likely to show that for an equivalent speciality and number of procedures per type of act, the correct use of collective and personal radiation protection equipment (préciser) will lower occupational radiation exposure of physician . Similarly, for an equivalent activity and number of procedures per type of act , a trained physician would have a lower occupational exposure than an untrained physician. The physician's radiation exposure should therefore increase with a greater number of procedures per type of procedure performed and as the radiation dose delivered to the patient increase. Finally, there would be a different correlation between patient's radiation dose and physician's exposure depending on specialty, procedures, modality, experience and availability and use of collective and personal radiation protection equipment.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
