The goal of this exhibit is To help radiology residents and fellows improve equipment utilization in an interventional radiology (IR) suite. To describe commonly used image acquisitions and post processing tools. To compare the relative radiation dose and image quality of acquisition methods. To exhibit cases demonstrating different acquisition methods and their application.   

A. Introduction: A new user is often puzzled at the user interface in an advanced IR system. Understanding different image acquisition methods allows us to use them to our advantage. This exhibit attempts to demystify the role played by these acquisition methods. B. Digital Radiography Single digital exposure Fluoroscopy C. Digital subtraction Radiography Road-map Reference image fade D. C-Arm Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) 3D anatomical demonstration 3D-3D volumetric fusion Needle guidance system Live 2D over 3D guidance Live scheme display E. Cases F. Summary: Radiologists-in-training are often overwhelmed by the complex user interface in an interventional radiology suite. Familiarity with the basic modes of image acquisition and utilization will enhance trainee participation during procedures and their interaction within IR team.
