Using Monte Carlo simulations, we showed that it is possible to reduce the absorbed dose of high kVp X-rays while allowing the acquisition of high-quality images. Furthermore, radiopaque catheters have the potential of enhancing the contrast during catheterizations and helping physicians to place catheters inside patients more rapidly and precisely.
