Is it really possible to perform neurointerventions safely without lead shielding?
In this case, Christophe Cognard from Paris, France spotlights a procedural innovation: conducting neuroradiological X-ray interventions without traditional lead protection. With safety and feasibility on the line, the team tests whether this technology can truly replace conventional shielding. Uncover how they assess, demonstrate, and critically evaluate this novel approach, challenging assumptions and paving the way for a new standard in operator safety.
Preliminary results from the NOVARAD 1 study showed more homogeneous protection than standard aprons, suggesting that lead-free practice could soon become a reality in interventional neuroradiology.
