Abstract

Scatter radiation is inevitable in fluoroscopy procedures, particularly interventional fluoroscopy procedures. Proper awareness of positioning within the fluoroscopy room is crucial to minimizing radiation exposure. This study aims to map the distribution of scattered radiation and determine exposure levels during pediatric Micturating Cystourethrogram (MCUG) and Barium Swallow procedures at the Radiology Department of Hospital Sultan Abdul Halim (HSAH)
