TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to quantify the reduction in patient radiation dose during coronary angiography by a new X‐ray technology, and to assess its impact on diagnostic image quality.

TL;DR: The potential of CCTA to improve patient selection for per cutaneous revascularization, provide the rationale for better resource use, and present a novel approach to incorporate 3-dimensional CT guidance for percutaneous coronary interventions are explored.

TL;DR: CTA volumetric calcium evaluation overestimates calcium volume by 60% compared to OCT, which may allow for an appropriate interpretation of calcific burden in the non-invasive setting.

TL;DR: The new x-ray and image processing technology, significantly reduces patient dose in coronary angiographies, and PCIs by 67% and scatter dose was also reduced, yet for some dosimeters the reduction was limited and not statistically significant.

TL;DR: The P75 of DAPBWxFT for all procedures combined serves as an appropriate DRL value, which facilitates local DRL determination in smaller paediatric centres, which often have insufficient data to produceappropriate DRLs for different procedure types.
