• The use of large display monitor (LDM) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) both decreased the need for magnification during prostatic arteries embolization (PAE). • The use of LDM reduces radiation exposure during PAE. • Total air kerma is associated with patient's body mass index, fluoroscopy time, CBCT, and the number of acquisitions.
