Fluoroscopy is the method of real-time X-ray imaging, which is especially useful in guiding a wide variety of diagnostic tests and interventions. Fluoroscopy shows movement through a continuous series of images obtained at a maximum rate of 25 to 30 full frames per second. This is similar to the way of transmitting conventional television or video images.
Although the x-ray exposure required to produce a fluoroscopic image is low (compared to an x-ray), patient exposure levels can be high for the duration of the series of images that are usually taken in the fluoroscopy scans. Therefore, the total fluoroscopy time is one of the most important factors in the exposure of the patient in this technique.
The absorbed dose in a specific part of the skin and in other tissues is of interest in fluoroscopy, the reason is to minimize the dose to sensitive organs, such as the gonads and the breast.
On the other hand, the total energy of radiation imparted to the patient's body during an examination is closely related to the effective dose and the risk of radiation-induced cancer.
In fluoroscopy, as in all types of X-ray images, the minimum exposure required to form an image depends on the specific information that needs to be seen in that image.
