The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of using a real time radiation exposure monitoring device on the patient and operator radiation exposure during cardiac catheterization. The hypothesis of the study is that use of a real time radiation exposure monitoring device during cardiac catheterization will decrease both patient and operator radiation exposure compared to no use of the monitoring device.
