In conclusion,

0:03

fluoroscopy procedures are routinely performed with minimal risk to

0:07

patient. As discussed earlier, in general fluoroscopy,

0:11

the procedure time are much lesser, the risk are very less.

0:14

In interventional fluoroscopy procedures,

0:17

even though there are some risks, that can be

0:20

mitigated by adopting the protection strategies.

0:24

Utilization of fluoroscopy outside radiology

0:28

demonstrates the advantages in the patient care.

0:30

That's why fluoroscopy is used everywhere, in the

0:34

surgery, in the endoscopy, because it's a real-time

0:38

imaging done at the bedside

0:42

of the patient. Finally, adhering to radiation protection

0:46

principles are key to minimize risk to

0:49

staff.
