Excerpt

We read the well-written article recently published online by Ryan et al. [1] in the Cardiovascular Interventional Radiology Journal. Their study quantified the team radiation exposure during PET/CT-guided interventional procedures and concluded that there was no significant difference compared with the radiation exposure from fluoroscopically guided procedures. The publication of this study is very opportune, and we would like to add some additional comments on the content covered by the authors. …
