LESSON 5 DIGITAL FLUOROSCOPY

Create a chart using the Table below to compare Digital Fluoroscopy Equipment and
Image Intensified Fluoroscopic Equipment. Include information related to patient
dose, contrast resolution, spatial resolution, size of the component, distortion, tube
mAs.

Digital Fluoroscopy Equipment Image Intensified Equipment

Components Components
Faster speed to acquire image Magnification requires higher x-ray
exposure
Smaller size Small dynamic range
Better contrast x-ray detector not sensitive
50% lower dose to patient
Post processing
100-1200 mA
Large dynamic range
Better spatial resolution
