Radiation exposure in neurosurgical intensive care unit patients: Balancing diagnostic benefits and long-term risks.

Life Sci

January 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, Philipps University of Marburg, Baldingerstraße, 35033 Marburg, Germany; Center for Mind, Brain and Behavior (CMBB), 35043 Marburg, Germany.

Background: X-ray, computed tomography (CT), and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) techniques are indispensable in managing critically ill neurosurgical patients. However, repeated diagnostic imaging leads to cumulative radiation exposure, raising concerns about long-term risks such as malignancies. This study evaluates the frequency, dosage, and implications of radiation exposure in a neurosurgical intensive care unit (NICU) patient cohort.

The Improving Care in Elderly Neurosurgery Initiative guideline is the first guideline dedicated to the care of patients with cSDH across the entire patient pathway, from initial presentation through to rehabilitation and discharge after surgery.
