The growing use of imaging procedures in the United States has raised concerns about exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation general population.We identified 952,420 nonelderly adults (between 18 and 64 years age) five health care markets across between January 1, 2005, December 31, 2007. Utilization data were used estimate cumulative effective doses from calculate population-based rates exposure, with annual defined as low (< or = 3 mSv), moderate (> 20 high 50 very mSv).During study...
To determine population-based rates of the use diagnostic imaging procedures with ionizing radiation in children, stratified by age and sex.Retrospective cohort analysis.All settings using radiation.Individuals younger than 18 years, alive, continuously enrolled UnitedHealthcare between January 1, 2005, December 31, 2007, 5 large US health care markets.Number type children.A total 355 088 children were identified; 436 711 performed 150 930 patients (42.5%). The highest older 10 frequent...
IMPORTANCE Current guidelines allow substantial discretion in use of noninvasive cardiac imaging for patients without acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who are being evaluated ischemia. Imaging may affect downstream testing and outcomes. OBJECTIVE To characterize hospital variation the association with testing, interventions, DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Cross-sectional study hospitals using 2010 administrative data from Premier, Inc, including suspected ischemia on initial evaluation...

Abstract Aims Prior trials have demonstrated that intravascular imaging (IVI)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) results in less frequent target lesion revascularization and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) compared with standard angiographic guidance. The uptake associated outcomes of IVI-guided PCI contemporary clinical practice the USA remain unclear. Accordingly, temporal trends comparative relative to guidance alone were examined a broad, unselected population...
Identifying the distributions and determinants of fluoroscopy time for invasive coronary angiography (ICA) percutaneous intervention (PCI).ICA PCI are significant contributors to radiation exposure from medical imaging in US. Fluoroscopy is a potentially modifiable determinant these procedures, but has not been well characterized contemporary practice.We evaluated distribution patients undergoing ICA and/or CathPCI Registry(®) , stratifying by numerous clinical scenarios. Hierarchical models...
The American College of Cardiology Foundation, in collaboration with the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions key specialty subspecialty societies, conducted a review common clinical scenarios where diagnostic catheterization is frequently considered.
