Abstract

Objective: To assess the radiation dose reduction during uterine artery embolization utilizing dose reduction technology. Methods: A 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. Results: The 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. Conclusion: The new imaging platform provided a 61% dose reduction during uterine artery embolization without a significant change in acquisition parameters.
