During diagnostic and interventional coronary procedures scatter radiation exposure is recorded with live-dosimeters at pre-specified anatomic regions of operators and sterile assistants. Scatter radiation data is correlated with detailed Xray exposure data and technical details of the procedure. The purpose of the registry is: 1. to establish scatter radiation reference values based on a large number of representative cath-lab procedures 2. to identify technical and clinical factors predisposing for high scatter radiation exposure, 3. to evaluate advanced radiation protection devices in clinical routine.
