    Abstract Introduction: Reduction of radiation dosage in the pediatric cardiac catheterization laboratory (PCL) is important to reduce the risk of its stochastic effect in children with congenital heart disease. Lowering the frame rate would reduce radiation dos‐ age possibly at the expense of image quality, potentially resulting in higher fluoro‐ scopic time and procedural complication rate.
    Methods: The data were retrospectively analyzed in three eras: era 1 (n = 234), cine‐ angiography 30 frames/sec (f/s) and fluoroscopy 15 pulse/sec (p/s); era 2 (n = 381), cineangiography 30 f/s and fluoroscopy 6 p/s; and era 3 (n = 328),… More >
