Fluoroscopic safety involves adhering to protocols to protect patients and staff from unnecessary radiation exposure, including the use of lead aprons and minimizing fluoroscopic time.

Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of the interior of an object or a patient.

A C-Arm is a mobile fluoroscopy unit that is shaped like a 'C' and allows multidirectional imaging around the patient.

ABC is a feature in fluoroscopy systems that automatically adjusts the brightness and contrast of the image to maintain image quality.

Fluoro loop recording allows clinicians to record, review, and save real-time images or series of images from a fluoroscopic examination.

Pediatric fluoroscopy is tailored for imaging children, using specialized protocols and equipment to minimize radiation exposure due to their increased sensitivity.

Contrast agents are substances used in fluoroscopy to improve the visibility of internal structures, highlighting differences in tissue density.

Low dose mode in fluoroscopy reduces the radiation output to minimize exposure while still providing an adequate image quality.

Fluoroscopic guided biopsy is a procedure where fluoroscopy is used to guide the biopsy needle to the precise location of tissue being sampled.

A Barium Swallow is a fluoroscopic procedure that visualizes the esophagus and its function as a patient swallows a barium suspension.

An image intensifier is a device used to increase the brightness of the images produced in fluoroscopy, reducing radiation dosage to the patient.

A spot film device is part of a fluoroscopy machine that allows the operator to acquire a high-resolution film during a live fluoroscopic examination.

Urography is a fluoroscopic examination of the urinary tract using contrast media to visualize the organs and identify abnormalities.

A fluoroscopic spot film is a still image captured during a fluoroscopic procedure to document specific findings or stages of the study.

Fluoroscopic time refers to the amount of time the patient is exposed to X-rays during a fluoroscopic procedure, which should be minimized for safety.

Using a high frame rate in fluoroscopy results in smoother motion display but increases the radiation dose to the patient.

LIH is a feature that displays the last captured image on the fluoroscopic screen to aid in patient positioning without additional radiation.

DSA is a technique used in fluoroscopy where images are processed to subtract background structures, leaving images of blood vessels filled with contrast medium.

Pulsed fluoroscopy emits intermittent pulses of radiation instead of a continuous beam, reducing the patient's radiation exposure.
