An adjustment between the expected dosage and exposure time requirement among a\u00a0variety of applicable techniques is not commonly provided.

However, certain aneurysm types and location combinations resulted in lower dose-area product and exposure time when CE was used rather than IaFD or FD. A\u00a0comparison of the median dose-area product technique with the DRL reveals that all of the aforementioned procedures fall below this value. Aneurysm size has little impact on the finding that FD and IaFD are more efficient in terms of dose and time consumption than CE.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients\u2019 exposure can be reduced by selecting a\u00a0technique associated with lower exposure levels, depending on the aneurysm\u2019s location and type.
