The combined application of the contrast-to-noise index and 80  kVp for cardiac CTA scanning before atrial fibrillation ablation reduces radiation dose exposure

To compare the radiation dose, diagnostic accuracy, and the resultant ablation procedures using 80 and 120-kVp cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) protocols with the same contrast-to-noise ratio in patients scheduled for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation.
