title: [Scatter radiation during heart catheterization--a new protective device (author's transl)].
abstract: During cardiac angiography the scatter radiation can reach a relevant dose at the head of the examiner. Radiation was measured with a dosimeter in the left temporal region with and without a new flexible lead-shield. The shield did not disturb the procedure. Scatter radiation was reduced to one fifth of the values without shield.
