Local Diagnostic Reference Levels for Intracranial Aneurysm Coil-Only Embolization Using a Low-Dose Technique.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Optimizing routine neurointerventional workflow and minimizing exposure to ionizing radiation during coil-only endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms depend on operator experience, reduced frame rates during both fluoroscopy and digital subtraction angiography (DSA), and the use of advanced angiographic systems. The low-dose protocol implemented in this study used the lowest available fluoroscopy frame rate (3.125 frames per second [fps]) and a nominal acquisition rate of 2 fps (actual = 2.45 fps) for DSA, three-dimensional (3D) rotational angiography, two-dimensional (2D)/3D mapping, and roadmapping. Methods: This retrospective analysis encompassed 245 coil-only procedures performed at a single tertiary center from 2018 to 2024. Data collecte
