Study Notes
Fluoroscopy in Interventional Radiology
- The primary function of fluoroscopy is to provide real-time, continuous X-ray imaging guidance for minimally invasive procedures.
Downsides of Fluoroscopy
- One of the downsides of using fluoroscopy is the exposure to ionizing radiation, which poses a risk to patients and staff.
- Another downside is the potential for image distortion and lack of spatial resolution, which can lead to inaccurate procedures.
Components of a Fluoroscope
- A key component of a fluoroscope is the X-ray tube, which produces the X-ray beam.
Benefits of Newer Fluoroscopes
- The benefit of using newer fluoroscopes is that they offer improved image quality, reduced radiation exposure, and increased patient safety.
Primary Use of Fluoroscopy
- The primary use of fluoroscopy is to guide minimally invasive procedures, such as angiography, angioplasty, and stent placement.
