1) To become familiar with major trends in fluoroscopy technology. 2) To understand transitions in technology that requires new and advanced evaluations. 3) To appreciate how a medical physicist is to effectively engage with clinical practice.
Just like other medical imaging modalities, fluoroscopy has been undergoing a number of technological transitions. Those include transitions from II to flat panel detectors and from 2D to 3D imaging. While these advances offer improvements and new possibilities, they challenge the conventional way a system is to be tested. In addition, given the interventional nature of the modality, there is an increasing need for the medical physicist to be more operationally engaged with the use and optimization of the technology. This lecture aims to offer a historical perspective on these topics and an outline of major priorities for fluoroscopic physics service.
