N2 - The aim of this study was to calculate the contribution of 3D rotational angiography to radiation doses received by paediatric patients in a cardiac catheterisation laboratory. The percentage increase in the median value of air kerma-area product due to cone beam CT was 33 and 16% for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, respectively. Results are presented separately for five age groups and ten weight groups. Several methods for reducing radiation from 3D rotational angiography are suggested and patient doses are compared with previously published values.
