Case-by-case fluoroscopy time (FT) and Dose Area Product (DAP). Boxplots group 1 versus group 2: a significant reduction is evident for both DAP and FT in group 2 (needle visualized on EAM) compared to group 1 (standard fluoroscopy guidance of the needle). (a) Dose Area Product in consecutive patients. (b) Fluoroscopy time in consecutive patients.
