Implication

Fluoroscopy time may proxy dose in non-cardiac procedures; hypothesis-generating for optimization pending prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Population

846 non-cardiac procedures performed outside the radiology department (643 orthopedic, 99 others, 73 urology, 17 chest, 7 vascular, and 4 ERCP cases)

Outcome

Fluoroscopy time (FT), Dose Area Product (DAP), and cumulative dose (CD)safety

Fluoroscopy time significantly correlates with radiation dose indices in non-cardiac procedures, supporting its use as a practical tool for patient dose optimization.
