Fluoroscopy• A technique used to furnish images that reflect near instantaneous changes occurring
in the patient.

It is possible to view directly, with naked eyes, the fluorescent image produce a simple phosphor coated screen.

HISTORY
• Thomas Edison, 1896• Screen (zinc-cadmium sulfide) placed over patient’s
body in x-ray beam• Radiologist looked directly at screen• Red goggles-30 minutes before exam• 1950 image intensifiers developed
![Page 6: Floroscopynewmicrosoftofficepowerpoint97 2003presentation2-131218145222-phpapp01](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070319/558477f4d8b42aca538b506a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• In early fluoroscopic techniques, x rays emerging from the patient impinged directly on a fluoroscopic screen.
• Light was emitted from each region of the screen in response to the rate at which energy was deposited by the incident x rays. The light image on
• The fluoroscopic screen was viewed by the radiologist from a distance of 10 or 15 in.
• A thin plate of lead glass on the back of the fluoroscopic screen shielded the radiologist
from x radiation transmitted by the screen.

Using this direct fluoroscopic technique: The radiologist perceived a very dim image
with poor visibility of detail. Radiologists had to “dark adapt” their eyes
by remaining in the dark for extended periods in order to view the images.

RED GOGGLES?The eye
• Light passes thru the cornea• Between the cornea and lens is iris• Iris acts as a diaphragm• Contracts in bright, dilates in dark
![Page 11: Floroscopynewmicrosoftofficepowerpoint97 2003presentation2-131218145222-phpapp01](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070319/558477f4d8b42aca538b506a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

• Light hits lens which focuses the light onto the retina where the cones and rods await
• Cones- central• Rods - periphery

RODSCONES
• Sensitive to low light• Used in night vision (scotopic
vision)• Dims objects seen better
peripherally• Color blind• Do not perceive detail
• Less sensitive to light (threshold of 100 lux)
• Will respond to bright light• Daylight vision (phototopic
vision)• Perceive color, differences in
brightness• Perceive fine detail
![Page 13: Floroscopynewmicrosoftofficepowerpoint97 2003presentation2-131218145222-phpapp01](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070319/558477f4d8b42aca538b506a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

PRESENTLY.…• Fluoro viewed at same level of brightness as
radiographs.• X-ray tube under table/over table or in c-arm• Image intensifier above patient in carriage• Carriage also has the power drive control, spot film
selection and tube shutters
![Page 14: Floroscopynewmicrosoftofficepowerpoint97 2003presentation2-131218145222-phpapp01](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070319/558477f4d8b42aca538b506a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Image Intensifiers
• Increase the brightness of the fluoroscopic image.
• Because of the brighter images, dark adaptation is not required.
![Page 15: Floroscopynewmicrosoftofficepowerpoint97 2003presentation2-131218145222-phpapp01](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070319/558477f4d8b42aca538b506a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Principles components of an image intensifier tube;1. The input phosphor, is 25-57 cm in diameter, exposure of input phosphor to x-ray beam that has been transmitted through the patient causes it to emit light.2. Photocathode layer, which release electrons in number related to intensity of light (electronic image is produced).
Image Intensifiers
![Page 16: Floroscopynewmicrosoftofficepowerpoint97 2003presentation2-131218145222-phpapp01](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070319/558477f4d8b42aca538b506a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Image Intensifiers
3. In the body of the Image Intensifier tube the electron are accelerated through a potential difference of 25-35 kv
and focused electronically onto a circular output phosphors 2.5-3.5 cm in diameter, which is coated of zinc-cadmium sulphite, which fluoresces when bombarded with electrons.
4. The light image so produced may up to 9000 times brighter than the input phosphor image.

• Fluoroscopy is used for the dynamic evaluation of functional disorders and guidance during routine surgical procedures, biopsies, etc.
• Fluoroscopy is used during interventional radiology procedures
Fluoroscopic equipment uses electronic image intensifiers to provide real-time (dynamic) imaging;

Fluoroscopic Equipment (cont)
Direct fluoroscopy should no longer be used.
“Direct” fluoroscopy does not use electronic image amplification. The real-time image is viewed on a fluorescent screen in a completely darkened room and requires the fluoroscopist to dark adapt for
approximately 20 minutes before the examination .
Improper attention to these requirements can significantly increase the radiation dose to patients
and users .
![Page 24: Floroscopynewmicrosoftofficepowerpoint97 2003presentation2-131218145222-phpapp01](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070319/558477f4d8b42aca538b506a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
All fluoroscopic units-:
• shall display the instantaneous values of x-ray tube voltage (kV peak), tube current (mA) and accumulated fluoroscopic exposure time at the control or to the user.
The dose rate at the image intensifier input phosphor shall not exceed the relevant IEC recommended values .
should be provided with a Dose-Area Product meter or a measuring system to indicate patient exposure.

Fluoroscopy : dynamic (real time) imaging (cont)
Light amplifier tubes, in combination with a television camera, are the most widely used image intensification systems.

Output phosphor image quality
A. Unsharpness; 1. Geometric unsharpness may be minimized by
positioning the intensifier input phosphor as close as possible to the patient.
2. Spreading of light within the input phosphor is minimized by using needle-shaped caesium iodide micromcrystals. Light emitted with each crystal is internally reflected within the crystal and exits only at its end.
![Page 27: Floroscopynewmicrosoftofficepowerpoint97 2003presentation2-131218145222-phpapp01](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070319/558477f4d8b42aca538b506a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
3. Due to limitation of electronic focusing, it results in a slight divergence of and the electrons hit output phosphor over a finite area rather than a point.
![Page 28: Floroscopynewmicrosoftofficepowerpoint97 2003presentation2-131218145222-phpapp01](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070319/558477f4d8b42aca538b506a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Output phosphor image quality –con--
B. Noise;1. Quantum mottle, loss of image quality due
quantum effect is minimized by ensuring that the input phosphor has a high quantum detection efficiency.
2. Structures mottle, input phosphor, photocathode and output phosphor display a graininess, which produce grainy appearance on the output phosphor image.
![Page 29: Floroscopynewmicrosoftofficepowerpoint97 2003presentation2-131218145222-phpapp01](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070319/558477f4d8b42aca538b506a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Alignment of caesium iodide crystal on the input phosphor
The light-pipe principle operating in a caesium iodide crystal. Lateral spread of light is minimized by internal reflection.
Imperfect electron focusing in an image intensifier. Focusing tents to deteriorate toward the edges.

Output phosphor image quality –con--
C. Resolution • The output phosphor image is only 2.5-3.5 cm in
diameter and must be magnified before it is displayed to observer.
D. Distortion • The electron image or pattern created as electrons
from the photocathode, should be duplicated in miniature at output phosphor, any deviation from this pattern results distortion of the intensified image.
