Minimizing exposure to radiation in invasive cardiology using modern dose‐reduction technology: Evaluation of the real‐life effects

Abstract

In our study, the ClarityIQ technology reduced the estimated radiation dose received by patients by 23-43%, according to the method of measurement.

Exposure to Ionizing Radiation in Patients Undergoing Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

“…10,23,24 This difference could be explained by the fact that all our TAVI procedures was performed in a modern cathlab equipped with a dose-reduction system that has been shown to achieve a spectacular reduction in the estimated dose of radiation received by both patient and physician. 9,25,26 In our study, only the BSA was independently and strongly correlated with the overall ED. In contrast, while some variables were associated with the ED by univariate analysis, they were no longer associated by multivariate analysis.…”

Multicenter Assessment of Radiation Exposure during Pediatric Cardiac Catheterizations Using a Novel Imaging System

“…While operators implement imaging techniques to lower dose, recent years have seen concerted e orts by manufacturers to reduce radiation exposure through technological processes. New system components and advanced image postprocessing algorithms offer potential for significant decrease in the radiation necessary for image generation [8][9][10][11]. Novel imaging systems are now available with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) flatpanel x-ray detectors (FD) that increase the acquired image bit depth and employ crystalline silicon instead of amorphous silicon as a photodetector.…”

Radiation safety with dose reduction technology: The buck stops at zero dose

“…In this week's issue of CCI, Faroux et al aimed to measure the reduction in the estimated dose of radiation received by patients using dose‐reduction technology (ClarityIQ, Philips Healthcare, The Netherlands), among a “real world” population at Reims University Hospital in France. This was an epidemiological prospective single‐center cohort study of all adult patients undergoing diagnostic and therapeutic, planned and emergent procedures in two catheterization laboratories within the same hospital.…”
