Physician Documentation of Fluoroscopy Time in Voiding Cystourethrography Reports Correlates With Lower Fluoroscopy Times: A Surrogate Marker of Patient Radiation Exposure

Abstract

Radiologist reporting of fluoroscopy time correlates with a decrease in fluoroscopy time, a surrogate indicator of radiation dose. Our findings suggest that the radiologist's documentation of fluoroscopy time in the report is part of a radiation awareness strategy leading to decreased fluoroscopy times.
