Lead-free protection in neurointervention: a new standard in operator safety?

Last update on August 29, 2025

In this conversation, Christophe Cognard and Fausto Ferraz address a crucial yet often overlooked topic in neurointervention: operator exposure to radiation. While patient safety is well documented, the long-term effects on physicians are less discussed, despite the widespread use of heavy lead aprons that can lead to musculoskeletal disorders. Prof Cognard introduces a lead-free cabin system designed to shield operators during procedures, offering a potential paradigm shift in interventional radiology practice.
