RE: High localised skin doses in interventional radiology

We at The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) in FDA have 
seen some case reports and more are coming in all the time.  Tom Shope 
from CDRH wrote a paper on this subject published in Radiographics in 
September 1996.  This is also posted at:

I presented a continuing education session on this topic at last 
summer's HPS meeting in Seattle.  Tom has presented on this at RSNA.

Would you contact me directly at the address or phone below.  We are 
looking for more cases.
