Abstract
The fluoroscopy used during ureteroscopy contributes to overall radiation exposure in patients with nephrolithiasis. Nonobese males are exposed to a median of 1.13 mSv during ureteroscopy, similar to that of abdominopelvic x-ray. More data are needed to determine clinical implications but urologists must be aware and decrease patient radiation during ureteroscopy.
