UPDATE OF A COMPARISON OF RADIATION DOSE BETWEEN CONTEMPORARY FLUOROSCOPY SYSTEMS USING AN ANTHROPOMORPHIC PHANTOM IN THE CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION LABORATORY

Background There is limited study on the impact of contemporary X-ray systems on patient radiation dose. Results Significant differences were observed in phantom radiation dose between the tested X-ray systems (Figure).
