Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective is to determine if there is a significant difference in radiation readings between dosimeters worn on the chest versus the hand of interventional pain management physicians and elucidate which dosimeter had higher readings.

The secondary objective is to track incidences of physician glove breaches in both groups to assess if wearing hand dosimeters is associated with an increased risk of this event.
