Description
Summary:•There is insufficient data to compare the radiosafety of the monoplane and biplane angiography systems.•Appropriate modifications of the acquisition parameters and protocols result in radiation reduction.•Further research in this area and personnel training are needed to minimize patient and operator exposures. The radiation dose during digital subtraction angiography (DSA) examination is determined on the basis of many factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the dose-area product, air kerma, and fluoroscopy time on monoplane and biplane DSA of the cerebral arteries. Our results show that biplane angiography offered lower DAP, cumulative air kerma at the reference point and fluoroscopy time despite comparable procedure time.. Further research in this area and personnel training warrant the improvement of the radiosafety of angiographic interventional procedures and further development of angiographic technology.
