SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the different fluoroscopy modes in cardiac X-ray imaging, specifically EP (Extra Low Fluoroscopy), LF (Low Fluoroscopy), MF (Medium Fluoroscopy), and HI (High Fluoroscopy). These modes refer to the radiation dose rate measured in Gray per minute delivered to the patient's skin. Understanding these modes is crucial for optimizing patient safety and imaging quality during procedures.

PREREQUISITES
  • Knowledge of X-ray imaging techniques
  • Understanding of radiation dose measurement (Gray/minute)
  • Familiarity with cardiac imaging procedures
  • Basic principles of fluoroscopy
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the impact of radiation dose on patient safety in fluoroscopy
  • Learn about the specific applications of each fluoroscopy mode in cardiac procedures
  • Explore advancements in fluoroscopy technology and dose reduction techniques
  • Investigate guidelines for optimal fluoroscopy use in clinical settings
USEFUL FOR

Cardiologists, radiologists, medical physicists, and healthcare professionals involved in cardiac imaging and fluoroscopy procedures.
