About

Aris Karatasakis is a researcher whose work centers on radiation safety in interventional cardiology, with a particular focus on minimizing occupational hazards in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. His major contributions include a comprehensive review of shielding and protective garb to reduce radiation exposure among cath lab staff, a critical area for improving long-term health outcomes for clinicians. This work, published in 2018, has garnered 9 citations and serves as a foundational reference for understanding both architectural and personal protective strategies—from lead aprons to mobile shields—that mitigate ionizing radiation risks. By synthesizing evidence on dose reduction techniques, Karatasakis has helped establish best practices that balance procedural efficacy with staff safety. His research underscores the importance of integrating protective measures into routine cath lab workflows, making him a notable voice in occupational health within cardiology. For students and researchers entering interventional fields, his work offers essential guidance on minimizing cumulative radiation exposure while maintaining high-quality patient care.
