High kV fluoroscopy using dense iodine or barium contrast materials depends on photoelectric

reaction in these high Z materials to give fine details. Very fast exposure ... These are tightly
collimated to remove scatter events in the same way as high ratio grids. ... Large field of
view image intensifier units using either digital output or 100 mm cut film cameras give an
entrance dose of about 100 Gy. Recent ...

Before the 1950s, fluoroscopy was performed in a darkened room with the radiologist viewing
the faint scintillations from a thick fluorescent screen. Modern fluoroscopic systems use image
intensifiers coupled to closed-circuit television ...
