While performing a scan scatter radiation was measured everywhere in the operating room especially during 3D scans of the pelvic girdle. Therefore, settings with lower dosage should be used whenever possible. Personnel should stand behind a radiation safety wall or leave the operating room and close the doors. For this study, six behavioral rules to avoid radiation in a hybrid operating room were established.
