Radiation Exposure of Adrenal Vein Sampling - a German Multicenter Study.

CONCLUSION: This first systematic assessment of radiation exposure in AVS not only shows fairly high values for patients, but also states notable differences amongst the centers. Thus, we not only recommend taking into account the risk of radiation exposure, when referring patients to undergo AVS, but also to establish improved standard operating procedures to prevent unnecessary radiation exposure.
