    The role of interventional radiology (IR) physicians in hospitals has evolved from a skilled technician to a true clinical consultant, requiring increased hospital presence. Growing clinical requirements result in frequent calls throughout all hours of the night, not only for emergency consults but also for routine questions from numerous residencies that employ night float systems. In contrast…

    Fluoroscopically guided interventional procedures can result in high radiation dose to the patient with increased risk of both deterministic and stochastic effects (1). One of the main concerns has been tissue effects to the skin since it is the organ that typically receives the highest dose, being exposed to the primary unattenuated x-ray beam. Deterministic skin effects have dose thresholds…
