2• Ch 1 – pg 1• 5% population have fluoro exams• 53% GI tract (1996 )• 120 sec fluoro ~= ese 5 – 15 rads• Comp to ABD ~= ese 100- 500 mrads• Fluoro used for dynamic studies• USING FLUORO TO POSTION
PATIENTS PRIOR TO TAKING FILM IS PROHIBITED
• Must have fluoro permit or Supervisor & Operators Certificate from state

3• Ch 2 - review all outlined• Inc factors directly influencing dose:• Ma, Fluoro (0.5 – 5 ) (usually 1 – 3 ma)• Spot film ma (100 – 200)• Kvp ( 80 -130) FOR FLUORO • collimaiton ALWAYS SMALL AS POSSIBLE• Filtration 3.0 mm AL for 125-150kvp• time, (less is better) – 5 Min audible alarm• Doubling time = doubling exp to patient • Pulsed fluoro vs continuous• Image receptor speed (FASTER)• 8:1 grid ratio fluoro

• Ch 2
• LIH or last image hold
• High kvp / low ma
• Lower frame rate
• Long tube to patient distance– 18 “ preferred in stationary (15” minimum)– Mobile – 12” minimum
• Short II to patient distance– moving II 12 to 18 “ away ↑ dose by (30-45%)
• Dead Man Switch – foot pedal

5• ALLOWABLE EXPOSURE RATES• Before 1974 w/o AEC = 5R/min• After with AEC• Regular mode = 10 R/ hr• BOOST/MAG mode = 20 R/hr• The table top intensity should not exceed 2.2
R/min for each mA of current at 80 kVp
• ROOM LIGHTING• Ambient light low – see image better – less pt
dose• Bright light reduced eye to resolve detail• Otherwise increasing kvp/mas will increase pt
dose

• Image intensifiers – reduces pt dose
• Review parts & function
• BG = MG x FG
• Quantum Mottle (not enough photons)
• Blotchy, grainy appearance– Caused by too little exposure– Most commonly remedied by increasing mA

BG = MG X FG
• FLUX GAIN – increase of light brightness due to the conversion efficiency of the output screen
• 1 electron = 50 light photons is 50 FG
• Can decrease as II ages
• Output phosphor almost always 1 inch
• Zinc cadnium phosphot
• Flux gain is almost always 50

16Contrast
• Contrast –– Subject – changed by contrast media (PE)– Equipment (camera tube, settings on monitor)
• Controlled by amplitude of video signal
• Affected by:– Scattered ionizing radiation– Penumbral light scatter
![Page 17: 1 RHB FLUORO SYLLABUS DATA EXCERTS Created 2008 RT 244 wk 4 / RT255 Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af3e94/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

• Resolution– 525 line TV (old) 1024 (newer digital)– Ability to resolve objects (detail)– Measured in lp/mm– MTF – expression of resolution for imaging
system (modulation transfer function)
• Distortion – size, shape (pg 9)– PINCUSION may comprise 8 – 10 % of
image area
![Page 18: 1 RHB FLUORO SYLLABUS DATA EXCERTS Created 2008 RT 244 wk 4 / RT255 Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af3e94/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

19
Size Distortion
• Affected by same parameters as static radiography– Primarily OID– Can be combated by bringing image
intensifier as close to patient as possible
![Page 20: 1 RHB FLUORO SYLLABUS DATA EXCERTS Created 2008 RT 244 wk 4 / RT255 Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af3e94/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Shape Distortion
• Geometric problems in shape of input screen– Concave shape helps reduce shape
distortion, but does not remove it all– Vignetting or pin cushion effect
![Page 21: 1 RHB FLUORO SYLLABUS DATA EXCERTS Created 2008 RT 244 wk 4 / RT255 Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af3e94/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21 • Pg 9
• LAG – blurring occurs from moving II too quickly – can’t capture photons– (amt of time for camera tube to capture)
• VIGNETTING – fall off of brightness at periphery of image = loss of brightness
• II TUBES = MULIT MODE
• BI FOCUS (2 sizes) TriI (3 sizes)
• Smaller surface area= MAG MODE
• ↓ suface area ↑ mag = ↑ patient dose
• II ~= 4 lp/mm Mag ~= 6 lp/mm

VIDEO/CAMERA TUBE
• VIDICON MOST COMMOM– LOWEST PATIENT DOSE
• PLUMICON – BETTER RESOLUTION
• ORTHOCON – VERY $$$$– BEST RESOLUTION … but….
• (II & camera tube combined (not used)
![Page 26: 1 RHB FLUORO SYLLABUS DATA EXCERTS Created 2008 RT 244 wk 4 / RT255 Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af3e94/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Type of TV camera VIDICON TV camera
improvement of contrast improvement of signal to noise ratio high image lag LOWER PATIENT DOSE
PLUMBICON TV camera (suitable for cardiology)
lower image lag (follow up of organ motions)
higher quantum noise level
CCD TV camera (digital fluoroscopy)
digital fluoroscopy spot films are limited in resolution, since they depend on the TV camera (no better than about 2 lp/mm) for a 1000 line TV system

30• PG 10
• CAMERA CONTROL UNIT• Synchronizes the video signal between camera
& monitor
• TV –MONITOR– CRT – Cathode Ray Tube– Much larger than camera tube – but similar function– The electrons are synchronized by the control unit –
so they are of the same intensity and location as the electrons generated by the pick up (camera) tube
![Page 31: 1 RHB FLUORO SYLLABUS DATA EXCERTS Created 2008 RT 244 wk 4 / RT255 Review](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e0b5503460f94af3e94/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31• CINE/ CINEFLUORGRAPHY PG 10
• Synchronized with camera shutters – no exp while closed
– Movie camera intercepts image• 16 mm and 35 mm formats• Record series of static exposures at high speed• 30 – 60 frames per second• Offer increased resolution
– At the cost of increased patient dose
• FRAMING FREQUENCY– Division of 60 (7.5,15,30,60,90,120)– ↑# frames ↑ patient dose– 2mr/frame ~30f/sec

32• VIDEO DISC RECORDING• (like a laser disc – size of an LP record ???)
• Combines radiography with fluoro• Image is stored as a single frame on a video
disc recorder - newer uses CD• 95% dose reduction when utilizing video disc
recording during fluoro• VIDEO TAPE RECORDING• Provides a permanent record w/o ↑ pt dose• Instant play back - Real time images• Poor image quality

35CASSETTE SPOT FILMINGvs PHOTOSPOT FILMING
• Photospot (f/sec) filming –
• Set at control panel from 1 f/sec – 12 f/sec
• Used for rapid sequence:– Upper Esophogram– Voiding Cystourethrograms (Peds)
• Lower patient dose

Intensifier Performance Conversion factor is the ratio of output phosphor
image luminance (candelas/m2) to x-ray exposure rate entering the image intensifier (mR/second).
• Very difficult to measure: no access to output phosphor
• No absolute performance criteria

Intensifier Brightness Gain• Flux Gain (FG): Produced by accelerating the
photoelectrons across a high voltage (>20 keV), thus allowing each electron to produce many more light photons in the output phosphor than was required to eject them from the photcathode.
• Summary: Combining minification and flux gains:

50Automatic Brightness Control
• Monitoring Image Brightness– Photocell viewing (portion of) output phosphor– TV signal (voltage proportional to brightness)
• Brightness Control: Generator feedback loop– kVp variable– mA variable/kV override– kV+mA variable – Pulse width variable (cine and pulsed fluoro)– less dose with pulsed vs continous fluoro

• Bandwidth or Bandpass- total # of cycles/sec
– Product of scan lines, scan rate & frequency
• Horizontal resolution – resolve dots

58 TV RESOLUTION-Horizontal
• Along a TV line, resolution is limited by how fast the camera electronic signal and monitor’s electron beam intensity can change from minimum to maximum.
• This is bandwidth. For similar horiz and vertical resolution, need 525 changes (262 ½
• full cycles) per line. • Example (at 30 frames/second):
262 cycles/line x 525 lines/frame x 30 frames/second
