Fluoroscopy is an integral part of both basic and advanced gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures. Given the risks of radiation exposure and inherent limitations of preventive measures, there is a need for additional effective protective methods.
In this randomized trial, we will be comparing radiation exposure between a next generation fluoroscopy system and conventional fluoroscopy system during fluoroscopy-guided endoscopic procedures.
