Please note that the badge factors mentioned were STRICTLY for
cardiac cath.  Using different procedures, different aprons,
different energies, etc.... invalidates the original data used to
support those factors.

The CRCPD and several states (obviously including Calif) have and are
looking at these studies to incorporate into their regulations.
