Does a gridless imaging technique reduce radiation exposure in patients undergoing cardiac electrophysiology procedures?
Gridless imaging during EP procedures can halve radiation exposure without compromising procedural success, though selective use is recommended when high image quality is required.
Smith et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Cardiac electrophysiology (EP). Gridless imaging technique vs. Imaging with anti-scatter grid was evaluated on Radiation levels and procedural success. Gridless imaging halved the levels of radiation delivered during cardiac electrophysiology procedures without any discernable adverse impact on procedural success rates.
