Risk factors of radiation dose in patients undergoing peripherally-inserted central catheter procedure using conventional angiography equipment and flat panel detector-based mobile C-arm fluoroscopy.

The article examines the risk factors of radiation in patients who are experiencing the procedure of peripherally-inserted central catheterization. It states the evaluation on the use of flat panel detector-based mobile C-arm fluoroscopy and conventional angiography equipment. It also emphasizes the estimation and comparison of dose-area product (DAP), tube voltage and tube current in statistical tests.
