Abstract

The dose of radiation exposure from X-ray fluoroscopy during EBUS-GS is much less than we expect; in fact, it was found to be negligibly low, especially for nurses and radiology technicians who usually stand away from the operating table. Wearing a protector can further reduce the dose of radiation exposure to the trunk of the body. However, great care should be taken because the relationship between radiation exposure dose and health hazards is not well clarified yet.
