    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Radiology
    • Cardiovascular Imaging

    Background:

    • Cardiac catheterization involves significant radiation exposure.
    • Minimizing radiation dose is crucial for patient and staff safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of yttrium filtration in reducing radiation exposure during cardiac catheterization.
    • To assess the impact of yttrium filtration on image quality and X-ray tube loading.

    Main Methods:

    • Radiation measurements using a phantom were conducted.
    • Evaluations were performed during fluoroscopy and cineangiocardiography procedures.
    • Yttrium filtration was employed during measurements.

    Main Results:

  • Up to 54% reduction in entrance exposure was observed with yttrium filtration.
  • No apparent loss of image quality was noted in routine procedures.
  • A minimal increase in X-ray tube loading was recorded.

    • Conclusions:

    • Yttrium filtration is an effective method for reducing radiation exposure in cardiac catheterization.
    • The technique offers substantial dose reduction benefits without negatively impacting diagnostic image quality.
