Interventional Fluoroscopy

Beschreibung

Fluoroscopic guidance plays a central role in an increasing number of minimally invasive diagnostic and interventional procedures. Fluoroscopic apparatus and related resources continue to evolve in support of this fundamental technology. Interventional Fluoroscopy: Physics, Technology, and Safety is the first resource to provide information that the clinician needs for the safe and efficient operation of interventional fluoroscopic equipment. Topics discussed include: * Basic physical and dosimetric concepts common to all forms of X-ray projection imaging systems * The structure and function of key components found in the interventional fluoroscope * The nature of the digital image and associated tools, such as image compression and quantitative angiography * Radiation biology and radiation effects at interventional dose levels * Radiation safety, including basic principles and operational and regulatory topics * An introduction to vascular brachytherapy * Quality assurance of interventional fluoroscopy equipment Authored by one of the most renowned experts in this field, Interventional Fluoroscopy: Physics, Technology, and Safety is an essential resource for interventional physicians, medical physicists, technologists, manufacturers, and others involved with modern interventional procedures.
