Effect of Spectral Filtering and Segmental X-ray Tube Current Switch-Off on Interventionalist’s Scatter Exposure during CT Fluoroscopy

Dose optimization in computed tomography (CT) is crucial, especially in CT fluoroscopy (fluoro-CT) used for real-time navigation, affecting both patient and operator safety. This study evaluated the impact of spectral X-ray filtering using a tin filter (Sn filter), and a method called partial-angle...
