Studies

 
 

RADAR study

(Armery Trial)

Randomized controlled trial involving 300 patients, showing further reduction in radiation dose to operator chest and arm above and beyond current shielding techniques when using the Armery arm board.  Abstract presented as moderated poster at TCT 2018.

 
 

Brain and neck tumors background study

Observational study that collected self-reported cases of brain and neck tumors among interventional operators that demonstrates the significant risk from radiation and highlights the need for greater efforts to reduce operator exposure.
