SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◍ What is fluoroscopy?.
Answer: A dynamic x-ray imaging modality that provides real-time
visualization of anatomical structures and physiological processes.
◍ ____ 1. Fluoroscopy is a ____ x-ray examination.dynamic,
real-timetherapeuticstaticall of the above.

◍ 2. Fluoroscopy is the domain of theradiographer.radiation
physicist.radiologist.quality control technologist..
Answer: radiologist
◍ 3. Fluoroscopy is commonly used for observation ofcardiovascular
structures.the GI tract.a surgical procedure.all of the above.
Answer: all of the above
◍ ____ 4. The fluoroscopic x-ray tube and image receptor are mounted on a
carriage.from the ceiling.coincident to each other.orthogonal to each other..
Answer: coincident to each other
◍ 5. Fluoroscopic mA range is commonly ____ m
A. 0.5 to 5.010.0 to 1005.0 to 10.0100 to 500.
Answer: 0.5-5.0
◍ How does fluoroscopy differ from static radiography?.

, inches.12201540.
Answer: 15
◍ 7. During fluoroscopic image intensification, the primary x-ray beam exits
the patient and strikes the ____ of the image intensifier.input
screenphotocathodeelectrostatic lensesoutput screen.
Answer: input screen
◍ What are the main components of an image intensifier?.
Answer: Input phosphor, electrostatic lenses, photocathode, and output
phosphor.
◍ 8. The input screen absorbs ____ and emits ____.x-ray photons; light
photonslight photons; x-ray photonsx-ray photons; electronselectrons; x-ray
