Powering down idle interventional radiology (IR) imaging systems can substantially decrease carbon emissions and electricity costs, according to a group of researchers at University Hospital Basel in Switzerland. The team estimated that annual energy consumption for seven imaging systems at their hospital was comparable to the energy use of 23 four-person households (115,684 kilowatt hours [ kWh] ) and that energy consumption during nonproductive work accounted for most of the total.

Complete, bilateral prostatic artery embolization (PAE) for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) results in better clinical outcomes than unilateral PAE (1). Prostatic artery selection during PAE can be challenging using angiography alone, and an understanding of the arterial anatomy is important for successful embolization. Prostatic artery origins are variable but almost exclusively arise from the anterior division of the internal iliac arteries (2).
