Fluoroscopy Exposure Factors - Video Lesson

Former a clinically useful fluoroscopic image means combining several for exposure factors, while striving to reduce exposure every step of the way. Because fluoroscopy is a continuous real time visual image, less x-ray beam on time for the patient means less exposure for everyone else. When setting exposure levels for each exam, the operator should be aware of five factors. Millie amperage? Kilovolt potential, or KVP, fluoroscopic time, or X-ray beam on time, distances, and beam collimation. Let's discuss each of them individually as they impact fluoroscopic radiation safety. How does MA affect exposure? Millamperage
