A 34-year-old woman underwent embolization of a left paraorbital
arteriovenous malformation guided with a bi-plane x-ray system
in two sessions separated by 3 days. Imaging included 110 minutes
of fluoroscopy and 46 digital subtraction angiography acquisitions.
Entrance skin dose rates were determined with measurements performed
on a skull phantom. The maximum possible skin dose was estimated
to be 6.6 Gy, which is consistent with the temporary epilation
in the right occipital region of the skull reported by the patient
approximately 5 weeks later.
