There are three main types of fluoroscopy modes in X-ray imaging: continuous, pulsed, and digital.
Continuous fluoroscopy mode involves a continuous X-ray beam that is used to produce real-time images. This mode is typically used for procedures that require constant monitoring, such as cardiac catheterization.
In pulsed fluoroscopy mode, the X-ray beam is turned on and off in short bursts. This reduces the amount of radiation exposure to the patient and is often used for longer procedures, such as orthopedic surgeries.
Digital fluoroscopy mode uses a digital detector to capture X-ray images, which are then displayed on a monitor. This mode offers improved image quality and the ability to manipulate and enhance images, making it useful for complex procedures.
While fluoroscopy is generally considered safe, there is a potential risk of radiation exposure. It is important for medical professionals to use the lowest possible radiation dose and for patients to communicate any previous exposure to radiation. Additionally, lead shielding may be used to protect the patient from unnecessary exposure.
