What is BMI about?

This study investigates the impact of body mass index (BMI) on radiation doses received by patients and operators during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Findings indicate that each five-unit increase in BMI correlates with a 31% increase in patient dose and a 27% increase in operator dose, with significantly higher doses observed in patients with a BMI over 40. The results suggest that BMI is a major contributing factor to radiation exposure for both patients and operators during PCI procedures.
