Standard Procedural Protocol Examples

Provides protocol examples for common IR procedures including femoral and radial arterial access, peripheral angioplasty and stenting, uterine artery embolization, TACE, percutaneous abscess drainage, and thermal ablation with stepwise setup and key parameters.

Procedure Optimization and Dose Reduction

Methods for optimizing procedures using low-dose fluoroscopy settings, pulsed fluoroscopy, collimation, last-image hold, and optimized DSA runs; explains how to collect dose metrics and image quality outcomes for protocol refinement.

Adapting Protocols for Complex Patients

Guidance on modifying protocols for anticoagulated patients, pediatric patients, patients with renal impairment, and those with complex vascular anatomy while maintaining safety and documenting deviations.
