Monitoring fluoroscopy time during vertebral cementoplasty procedures
Interest of Continuous Monitoring of the Fluoroscopy Time on the Dose Delivered to the Patient During Vertebral Cementoplasty Gestures With a Flat Panel Detector
This study looks at whether keeping an eye on the amount of X-ray time during a common spine procedure can help lower the radiation exposure for patients.

What this trial studies
This observational study evaluates the impact of continuous visual monitoring of fluoroscopy time on the radiation dose delivered to patients undergoing single-level vertebral cementoplasty at the Strasbourg University Hospital. The study aims to collect data from approximately 1,000 procedures performed annually to assess how monitoring can potentially reduce radiation exposure. By focusing on a standardized and frequently performed procedure, the research seeks to enhance patient safety and improve procedural outcomes.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adult patients (18 years and older) scheduled for single-level vertebral cementoplasty at the Strasbourg University Hospital.
Not a fit: Patients who have undergone multiple-level vertebroplasties or have a history of spinal surgery near the affected area may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to reduced radiation exposure for patients undergoing vertebral cementoplasty.
How similar studies have performed: While this approach is focused on monitoring fluoroscopy time, similar studies have shown that reducing radiation exposure during interventional procedures can improve patient safety.
