DOI: 10.1002/ccd.30662
Abstract: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusion (CTO) is associated with a longer fluoroscopy time and a higher radiation dose as compared to non‐CTO PCI. Absorbed radiation dose, in turn, is a relevant issue… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/mp.15798
Abstract: PURPOSE The gold-standard method for estimation of patient-specific organ doses in digital tomosynthesis (DT) requires protocol-specific Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of radiation transport in anatomically accurate computational phantoms. Although accurate, MC simulations are computationally expensive,… read more here.
