The Influence of Radiographic Equipment, Setup, and Operator Experience on Radiation Exposure in Chronic Total Occlusion Interventions
Radiation exposure for CTO PCI was reduced for both long-time and recent CTO operators during 9 years. Equipment updates were instrumental to improved radiation management, but inter-operator differences remained regarding dose management and collimation.
