I got an update from TCAI on the radiation from fluoroscopy in their labs:
“Also, in response to your question, regarding radiation during the ablation…you may proceed with scheduling mammogram at any time. The equipment used in the EP lab is new within the past 2-3 years and utilizes less radiation than older technology per the EP lab manager. They have performed testing, monitor radiation exposure closely, and have found the amount of fluoroscopy time required to provide even the minimum level of unsafe exposure is multiple hours, so there is low concern with radiation exposure during the procedure in terms of needing to delay any additional testing/imaging for any period of time after ablation.”
Reassuring!
