Intraurethral catheters are effective in the treatment of elderly patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) who have severe complications. However, it is not easy to measure the length of the prostatic urethra and to determine an appropriate location for the urethral catheter using only fluoroscopy, especially in patient with severe mid-lobe enlargement. We attempted to place a shape-memo...

Abstract Introduction Cardiac device therapy has recently been extended by the option of Conduction System Pacing, CSP (HIS Bundle HBP; Left Branch Area LBBAP). Similar to cardiac resynchronization (CRT), complex procedures can result in long fluoroscopy-duration and considerable radiation exposure for patient implanting team. According principle ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable), measure...

The aim of this study was to assess image quality and radiation dose of a biplane angiographic system with cone-beam CT (CBCT) capability tuned for pediatric cardiac procedures. The results of this study can be used to explore dose reduction techniques. For pulsed fluoroscopy and cine modes, polymethyl methacrylate phantoms of various thicknesses and a Leeds TOR 18-FG test object were employed....
