Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the radiation dose to patient at two positions (prone and left lateral) and to medical staff during Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure using dose area product (DAP) meter and thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD). Data were recorded on 20 patients at prone position and 20 patients at left lateral position.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Patients' entrance surface dose
Transparent ionization chamber was placed at the light beam diaphragm of the x-ray tube to measure the dose in the air and the verification film was placed on the couch at fluoroscopic area to determine exposed area. Patient's dose-area product will express in cGy.cm2.
within 12 hours after procedure
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Endoscopists' radiation dose
Within 12 hours after procedure
Study Arms (2)
Prone
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients were in prone position along the ERCP procedure.
Left lateral decubitus
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients were in left lateral decubitus along the ERCP procedure.
Interventions
Fluoroscopy was used during ERCP procedure. With automatic brightness adjustment, patients with thicker body will get greater radiation dose.
