Instrumentation of Fluoroscopy  The components of this fluoroscopic imaging chain from this illustration you can see has a generator x-ray tube collimator filtration a table for the patient and the patient grid image intensifier optical coupling video camera and a monitor finally to visualize the image let's go step by step on this fluoroscopic imaging chain the x-ray generator the work of the accelerate generator is to enable selection of kilovolt edge and tube current that is Kaylyn MA for the accelerator the kV Mme can be altered using automatic brightness control it's called ABC now why do we need an automatic brightness control it maintains the overall image brightness at a constant level as the imagined inspire is panned across different parts of the body next, we move on to the x-ray tube requires high tube loading for extended views because fluoroscopy is a continuous process it's not like the exposures which are taken in routine radiography it can have a grid contr...
