Summary
X-ray beam produced during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) affect not only the patient, but the personnel of ERCP team may have the effect from the scattered ray. According to the automatic beam adjustment function, the thicker object (eg. lying left lateral) might produce higher scatter ray than thinner object (eg. lying prone). The investigators evaluate the radiation exposure among ERCP personnel compare between patient's 2 different positions.
