Fluoroscopy burn

Fluoroscopy burns are a cutaneous condition, and may occur when fluoroscopy is repeatedly performed in patients with cardiovascular disease, resulting in radiation-induced injury.[1]

A study of radiation induced skin injuries[2][3] has been performed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) based on results from 1994,[4] followed by an advisory to minimize further fluoroscopy-induced injuries.[5] The problem of radiation injuries due to fluoroscopy has been further investigated in review articles in 2000[6], 2001,[7][8] 2009[9] and 2010.[10][11][12]
