Final Notebook 10 3

Digital fluoroscopy equipment uses flat panel detectors like CCDs that provide higher contrast resolution and spatial resolution compared to image intensified equipment, requiring less radiation dose to patients. Digital equipment images have less distortion and the ability to be post-processed. Components are larger but pixels smaller. Tube mA's can be 100-1200 compared to 1-5 mA for image intensified equipment. Overall, digital fluoroscopy provides improved image quality with lower patient radiation doses.
