Fig 2 Staff radiation exposure compared according to role and imaging. Mean exposure for primary surgeon (0.088 ± 0.017 mSv vs 0.034 ± 0.010 mSv), assistant (0.083 ± 0.015 mSv vs 0.024 ± 0.007 mSv), other (0.006 ± 0.002 mSv vs 0.009 ± 0.002 mSv). ∗Denotes a P value < .05.

Fig 3 Mobile (MI) and fixed imaging (FI) dose comparison according to case complexity. Each quartile (Q1-Q4) showed a higher dose (mSv) in FI compared with MI. Data in mSv ± standard error of the mean (SEM), MI, then FI respectively: Q1 (0.024 ± vs 0.22 ± 0.028); Q2 (0.082 ± vs 0.55 ± .047); Q3 (0.16 ± vs 0.79 ± 0.066); Q4 (0.42 ± vs 1.50 ± 0.19). ∗Denotes a P value < .05.

Fig 4 Staff radiation exposure compared by “step back” positioning in fixed imaging (FI) room. Data in mSv ± standard error of the mean (SEM), <50% then >50%, respectively. Mean exposure for surgeon (0.122 ± vs 0.044 ± 0.009); mean exposure for fellow (0.1004 ± vs 0.070 ± 0.027). ∗Denotes a P value < .05. OR, Operating room.
