Scatter C-arm Radiation May Present a Health Risk to Medical Teams
In the interventional suite, the number of fluoroscopy-guided procedures is increasing. Therefore, the medical team's exposure to high doses of C-arm scatter radiation is rising.**
Provide Next-Generation Protection From Radiation Risks Exceed Occupational Safety Standards While Maintaining Capacity and Productivity
Attract more top physicians, residents, women, and clinical staff. Radiaction technology is full-body protection that surpasses current coverage from lead aprons, shields, and shielding systems, all without compromising safety, functionality, image quality, or patient access.

Revolutionize Protection to Your Staff
A sophisticated yet simple solution for radiation exposure. Advanced technology allows for patient care while decreasing risk to healthcare providers.
What the Radiaction System Does for Providers
*Measurements were conducted using Radcal ion chambers and solid-state sensors in a demonstration cath lab at four positions around the C-arm, which represent typical locations for cath lab personnel. For each position, measurements were taken at pelvis/lower body height and head/neck height. A RANDO® anthropomorphic male phantom was utilized to simulate a patient and generate scatter.
Dose rates were measured and compared between the same positions with and without Radiaction’s shield system and without any other radiation protection equipment. Measurements were taken at various C-arm angles, ranging from AP to 80° LAO and 30° RAO, as well as from 30° CRA to 30° CAUD, covering a total of 44 different angles. At each angle, three dose rate measurements were recorded. The average dose rate reduction was calculated for each angle and sensor position, and an overall average reduction was then computed for all measurements taken.
