Abstract No. 260 Does Preprocedural CT Angiography Improve Prostate Artery Embolization Procedure Time and Radiation Dose Compared with MRI?

Preprocedural imaging for prostate artery embolization (PAE) is typically obtained to assess prostate size, and preprocedural vessel mapping and to evaluate for any potential malignancy. The choice of imaging is often decided by the operator based on patient factors. We sought to evaluate whether preprocedural imaging choice could reduce procedure time and radiation dose.
