Research progress of radiation protection in interventional diagnosis and treatment of pediatric heart disease / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Interventional diagnosis and treatment of heart disease is the gold standard to evaluate the anatomy and physiology of children with congenital heart disease. It plays an important role in the treatment of congenital heart disease. However, ionizing radiation is inevitably harmful to the health of children and surgery operators to varying degrees. More and more attention has been paid by surgery operators to children's unique characteristics, protective awareness and skills. This paper reviews recent literature regarding the application, radiation hazards, and research status of interventional surgery in children with congenital heart disease, which hope to help people to better understand the importance of ionizing radiation protection.
