title: Patient skin reactions from interventional fluoroscopy procedures.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This article presents relevant physics, technology, and radiobiology along with a summary of operational guidelines for radiation management in interventional fluoroscopy procedures.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Fluoroscopically guided interventional procedures offer patients clinical and economic benefits as compared with the alternatives. Radiation-induced skin injuries are uncommon but continue to occur.
