Heart Doctors' radiation risk: can a Flicker-Less X-Ray pulse keep them safer?
NCT ID NCT07221175
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study was designed to see if using an ultra-low X-ray pulse rate (3.75 frames per second) instead of the standard low rate (7.5 frames per second) could reduce the radiation exposure that cardiologists receive while performing coronary angiography through the right wrist. The trial planned to measure radiation at the doctor's chest and eyes, but it was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
