The radiation dose and protection during percutaneous vertebral augmentation

doi:10.3969/j.issn.2095-4344.2015.21.024

Abstract

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: A large number of literatures have shown that surgeons expose to a higher radiation dose during puncture and bone cement injection in percutaneous vertebral augmentation.
OBJECTIVE: To review the research progress in radiation doses and safeguard procedures in percutaneous vertebral augmentation.
METHODS: By using “percutaneous vertebral augmentation, radiation doses, radiation protective” as key words, we retrieved articles related to radiological protection during percutaneous vertebral augmentation published from January 1995 to December 2014 in Wangfang database and PubMed database.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: One basic principle of radiation protection is that the radiation dose decreases rapidly with distance from the radioactive sources. Surgeons should maximize the distance from the radioactive sources as far as possible in case there is no effect on the operation. To optimize the setting and position of C-arm machine, wear protective devices and put lead shields as well as computer navigation and radiation training in surgeons all can help to reduce the radiation doses during percutaneous vertebral augmentation. Remote bone cement injection device is easy to control but not increases the radiation doses. In addition, the influence of surgery bed on radiation dose remains to be further studied. We believe that with the in-depth research on radiological protection, vertebral augmentation technique will be safer in clinical application.
