Study Notes

Medical Imaging Applications

  • Primary application of medical imaging for fluoroscopy is guiding diagnostic and interventional procedures.

Evolution of Fluoroscopes

  • Since the 1950s, fluoroscopes have been improved with the addition of image intensifiers, which increase the brightness of the image.

Similarities with Other Imaging Modalities

  • Fluoroscopy is similar to radiography and X-ray CT in that it uses X-rays to produce images.

Historical Difference Between Radiography and Fluoroscopy

  • Originally, radiography produced static images, while fluoroscopy produced dynamic, real-time images.

Modernizing Technological Advancements

  • Digital flat-panel detectors (FPDs) have modernized radiography, CT, and fluoroscopy, allowing for improved image quality, reduced radiation exposure, and increased efficiency.
