Radiation Dosimetry of 3D Rotational Neuroangiography and 2D-DSA in Children [PATIENT SAFETY]

CONCLUSIONS:
In pediatric neuroangiography, the effective dose for 3D rotational angiography can be significantly lower than for 2D-biplane DSA and can be an essential adjunct in the evaluation of neurovascular lesions. Additionally, available 3D rotational angiography protocols have significant room to be tailored for effectiveness and dose optimization, depending on the clinical question.
