Abstract
The use of ionising radiation in interventional studies has increased exponentially in the last few years. It has also provided more accurate diagnoses and the possibility of performing minimally invasive interventions, but all of this at the expense of increasing the radiation dose in order to obtain a suitable, clear, and accurate image. Furthermore, the high complexity procedures are costly, and the time of using ionising radiation is longer. This, in turn, leads to damaging DNA, which increases the risk of developing cancer in the patient, as well as the interventionist, and healthcare staff. For this reason, it is essential to have sufficient mechanisms in order to reduce the ionising radiation to minimum levels, without losing the capacity to obtain an adequate image that enables the procedures to be carried out successfully.This article focuses on describing imaging techniques that help to decrease the effective dose of ionising radiation without changing the quality of the image.
