Abstract
Rotating the C-arm during a procedure with the aim of “spreading” dose on the skin of the patient may not result in a reduction in PSD and may increase PSD. However, when used as a prophylactic measure combined with tight x-ray beam collimation, C-arm rotation can be used as a tool to reduce PSD. Tight collimation greatly increases the benefit of C-arm rotation.
