Article Synopsis
- Fluoroscopy systems use collimators to focus radiation, and these collimators are assessed annually to meet regulatory standards. A new method was developed to evaluate their performance effectively.* -
- The evaluation involved a setup using radiopaque rulers and radiochromic film strips to measure the radiation field against the displayed images across 79 different fluoroscopic systems.* -
- Results showed that some systems exceeded radiation limits, and this new method quickly and effectively provides a quantitative assessment that meets compliance requirements.*
