Is a further reduction of radiation exposure in scoliosis monitoring achievable using flat detector and pulsed fluoroscopy technology? - A feasibility study on human specimen
Abstract:Background: In the case of scoliosis therapy, frequent radiological monitoring of the spine is necessary. However, x-ray requires high radiation doses; therefore digital pulsed fluoroscopy with flat detector technique can be used alternatively. The latest developments in this technology lead to further dose reduction with an improved image quality. To evaluate the new system, we asked if there is a difference in dose area product (DAP) concerning the opening area (OA) and image quality settings (IQS). Further … Show more
