[Radiation exposure of patients and personnel in the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (author's transl)].
The results of the measurement of radiation protection in 54 patients and the involved personnel exposed to radiation (physician performing the endoscopy and the radiologist) during ERCP were analyzed. The radiation exposure values were relatively low and were within the range of those doses to be expected for gastroenterologic radiodiagnostics. After many years of experience, the radiation exposure for patients and physician can be further reduced. Actual danger from radiation need not be feared for the patient or the exposed personnel. The range of maximum values for radiation exposure set-up in the regulations for x-rays is so broad that, with endoscopic centers need not be decreased. Rather it can still be considerably increased.
