Testing a new radiation protection garment for staff
This study tests a new lightweight radiation protection garment for staff who work in interventional radiology. It aims to see if it is as safe and comfortable as the standard heavy lead aprons.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You work in the interventional radiology department at the study site.
- You are regularly present during fluoroscopy-guided procedures (like an IR doctor, trainee, technologist, nurse, or anesthesia provider).
- You are scheduled to work in procedure rooms that have the new garments and dosimeters.
- You are willing to wear the new garment or standard protection with dosimeters as the study requires.
- You are not pregnant and do not have a skin or muscle condition that would make wearing the garment unsafe.

This trial tests a new way to reduce the amount of radiation you receive during a heart procedure (like angioplasty or stenting) done through the wrist. It aims to make the procedure safer for patients and staff.
This study is testing a new, more advanced type of CT scanner. It uses photon-counting technology to take clearer pictures of the body with less radiation. You will have one or more CT scans to help researchers see how well this new machine works compared to current scanners.
This trial is for the interventional care team, not patients, testing a device that may reduce radiation exposure during planned leg artery procedures.
This study tests a way to adjust radiation doses for people getting chest radiation, using a wearable device to watch for heart rhythm problems. It aims to reduce the chance of irregular heartbeats after treatment.
This study tests a new type of CT scanner that creates detailed images using different energy levels. The goal is to see how well this scanner works in adults of healthy weight, which may lead to clearer scans with less radiation for patients.
This study tests a new type of CT scanner called Spectral CT Verida, which takes detailed images of the body. It aims to see how well the scanner works and whether it is safe for people to use.
