Fluoroscopy Recording Systems - Video Lesson

Hey, everybody. This lesson discusses the recording systems that are used in fluoroscopy. It is important to understand the process for recording the fluoroscopic image as it helps you to understand how the process used by different fluoroscopic systems impacts image quality. Record fluoroscopic images enables us to review, analyze, and communicate findings, as well as legally document procedures. The fluoroscopic image is viewed on monitors attached to a mobile cart or suspended from the ceiling and RF rooms and some operating rooms. On mobile fluoroscopic units, there might also be a monitor that is visible to the operator. Old fluoroscopic systems with an image intensifier had a specially designed television camera called a Vidicon attached to the output phosphor. The Viticon took the light emitted from the output phosphor and converted it into an electrical signal, which traveled from the camera into television circuits to the viewing monitors. My
