What is it about?
Cathode bound area is getting more scattered radiation due to Heel Effect. Try to avoid or spend less time at cathode bound area during fluoroscopic procedure.

Why is it important?
Staff can reduce scattered radiation risk by avoiding cathode bound area concomitant to dose optimization principle's ALARA.
Perspectives
This publication is important for staff involved in fluoroscopic procedure. By knowing the anode-cathode position technically can reduce scattered radiation risk to staff and it is concomitant to dose optimization principle's ALARA.
