Abstract
ObjectiveTo assess the radiation dose reduction during uterine artery embolization utilizing dose reduction technology.MethodsA total of 58 women underwent uterine artery embolization. A total of 26 procedures were performed in a standard fluoroscopy suite; 32 procedures were performed utilizing a novel imaging platform. Radiation dose data and acquisition parameters were compared.ResultsThe new platform provided significant reduction in the median radiation dose (P< .001): from 389 Gy cm2 to 145 Gy cm2. There were no differences between the groups with regard to acquisition parameters.ConclusionThe new imaging platform provided a 61% dose reduction during uterine artery embolization without a significant change in acquisition parameters.
