Safety of beta radiation exposure to the non-target segment: an intravascular ultrasound dosimetric analysis.
J Invasive Cardiol. 2006; (7): 309-12
The use of longer radioactive seed trains to avoid geographic miss may lead to greater radiation exposure to distal vasculature due to the natural tapering of coronary arteries. The aim of this study was to use IVUS-based dosimetric analysis to evaluate the effect of beta-radiation on angiographically normal, noninjured distal segments.
