Image noise reduction technology allows significant reduction of radiation dosage in cardiac device implantation procedures

Novel x‐ray systems with real‐time image noise reduction technology (INRT) to reduce radiation dose during fluoroscopy and cine acquisition have become available. This study evaluated the reduction of radiation dose in device implantation with INRT.
