Spot Imaging and Last Image Hold - Video Lesson

Hey, everybody. In this lesson, we will discuss two features of fluoroscopy that are a lot like static rays, spot imaging, and the last image hold. Both of these processes allow the operator to capture still images during a fluoroscopic procedure. It is important to understand the difference between the two because spot imaging is associated with a higher image quality and higher patient dose than last image hold. Spot imaging is a static floragraph that is made during a flora agnostic examination to permanently record conditions that are visualized during that fluoroscopic procedure. It uses higher radiographic exposure techniques to obtain better image quality than were obtained by fluoroscopy. Spot imaging has a shorter exposure time and uses higher MA than fluoroscopy, so motion distortion is less likely to occur. Exposure are automatically terminated using a type
