2 1. Real-Time Imaging Fluoroscopy is an imaging procedure that allows real-time x-ray x viewing of the patient with high temporal resolution Use TV technology, which provides 30 frames per second imaging Allows acquisition of a real-time digital sequence of images (digital video), that can be played back as a movie loop Cine cameras offer up to 120 frame per second acquisition rates using 35- mm cine film. Digital cine also available Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 2

4 1. The Image Intensifier (II) There are 4 principal components of an II: (a) a vacuum bottle to keep the air out (b) an input layer that converts the x-ray signal to electrons (c) electronic lenses that focus the electrons, and (d) an output phosphor that converts the accelerated electrons into visible light c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging, 2 nd ed., p Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 4
5 1. Input Screen The input screen of the II consists of 4 different layers: (a) vacuum window, a 1 mm aluminum window that is part of the vacuum bottle keeps the air out of the II, and its curvature is designed to withstand the force of the air pressing against it a vacuum is necessary in all devices in which electrons are accelerated across open space c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging, 2 nd ed., p Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 5
6 1. Input Screen The input screen of the II consists of 4 different layers: (b) support layer, which is strong enough to support the input phosphor and photocathode layers, but thin enough to allow most x-rays x to pass through it 0.5 mm of aluminum, is the first component in the electronic lens system, and its curvature is designed for accurate electronic focusing c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging, 2 nd ed., p Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 6
7 The input screen of the II consists of 4 different layers: 1. Input Screen (c) input phosphor, whose function is to absorb the x-rays x and convert their energy into visible light cesium iodide (CsI) is used long, needle-like like crystals which function as light pipes, channeling the visible light toward the photochathode with minimal lateral spreading 400 µm m tall, 5 µm m in diameter c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging, 2 nd ed., p Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 7
8 1. Input Screen The input screen of the II consists of 4 different layers: (d) photocathode is a thin layer of antimony and alkali metals that emits electrons when struck by visible light 10 to 20% conversion efficiency 23 to 35 cm diameter input image (FOV) c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging, 2 nd ed., p Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 8

13 1. Electron Optics Electrons are accelerated by an electric field Energy of each electron is substantially increased and this gives rise to electron gain Focusing is achieved using an electronic lens, which requires the input screen to be a curved surface, and this results in unavoidable pincushion distortion of the image c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR Imaging, 2 nd ed., p
14 1. Electron Optics The G1, G2, G3 electrodes along with the input screen and the anode near the output phosphor comprise the five-component electronic lens system of the II The electrons under the influence of the 25K to 35K V electric field, are accelerated and arrive at the anode with high velocity and considerable kinetic energy After penetrating the very thin anode, the energetic electrons strike the output phosphor c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR Imaging, 2 nd ed., p
15 1. The Output Phosphor The output phosphor is made of zinc cadmium sulfide Anode is very thin coating of aluminum on the vacuum side of the output phosphor, which is electrically conductive to carry away the electrons once they deposit their energy in the phosphor Each electron causes the emission of approximately 1000 light photons from the output phosphor 2.5 cm diameter output phosphor c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR Imaging, 2 nd ed., p
16 1. The Output Phosphor The reduction in image diameter leads to amplification (analogy: magnifying glass and sunlight) Minification gain of an II is simply the ratio of the area of the input phosphor to that of the output phosphor, e.g., 9 input phosphor, 1 output phosphor, area is square of the diameter ratio, minification gain is 81 c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR Imaging, 2 nd ed., p
17 1. The Output Phosphor The output phosphor is coated right onto the output window Some fraction of the light emitted by the output phosphor is reflected at the glass window Light bouncing around the output window is called veiling glare,, and can reduce image contrast c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR Imaging, 2 nd ed., p
18 1. Raphex 2001 Diagnostic Question D24-D28. D28. For the image intensifier shown, match the following: (answers may be used more than once) A. Light photons. B. X-ray X photons. C. Microwaves. D. Electrons. E. Infrared photons. D24. I represents D25. II represents D26. III represents D27. IV represents D28. V represents B B A D A Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 18
19 1. Characteristics of Image Intensifier Performance Conversion Factor Conversion Factor = Light out of image intensifier (cd/m 2 ) Exposure rate into image intensifier (mr/sec) Defined as a measure of the gain of an image intensifier ratio of light output to exposure rate input 100 to 200 for new image intensifier Degrades over time, ultimately can lead to II replacement Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 19
20 1. Characteristics of Image Intensifier Performance Brightness Gain BG = minification gain x electronic gain (flux gain) Minification gain = increase in image brightness that results from reduction in image size from the input phosphor to output phosphor or size (d i /d o ) 2, d i is input diameter which varies, d o is output diameter typically 2.5 cm For 30 cm (12 ) II, minification gain = 144 Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 20
21 1. Characteristics of Image Intensifier Performance Brightness Gain BG = minification gain x electronic gain (flux gain) Electronic gain or flux gain is typically 50 The brightness gain therefore ranges from about 2,500 7,000 As the effective diameter of the input phosphor decreases (magnification increases), the brightness gain decreases Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 21
22 1. Field of View/Magnification Modes FOV specifies the size of the input phosphor of the image intensifier ifier Different sizes: 23 cm (9 ), 30 cm (12 ), 35 cm (14 ), 40 cm (16 ) FOV Magnification is accomplished electronically using electronic focusing that projects part of the input layer onto the output phosphor Since brightness gain decreases in mag. mode, the x-ray x exposure rate is boosted. (12/9) 2 = 1.8, (12/7) 2 = 2.9 c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging, 2 ed., Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR p
23 1. Raphex 2000 Diagnostic Question D29. In fluoroscopy, switching from the 9 inch to the 6 inch field-of of-view (FOV) results in in the T.V. resolution and in the e patient entrance radiation exposure. A. An increase, a decrease B. A decrease, an increase C. An increase, an increase D. A decrease, a decrease E. An increase, no change Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 23
24 1. Optical Coupling Parallel rays of light enter the optical chamber, are focused by lenses, and strike the video camera where an electronic image in produced A partially silvered mirror is used to shunt the light emitted by the image intensifier to an accessory port c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR Imaging, 2 nd ed., p
25 1. Video Cameras c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging, 2 nd ed., p Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 25
26 1. Video Camera Analog video systems typically have 30 frames/sec operation, but they work in an interlaced fashion to reduce flicker, the perception of the e image flashing on and off The human eye-brain system can detect temporal fluctuations slower than about 47 images/sec, and therefore at 30 frames/sec flicker would d be perceptible With interlaced systems, each frame is composed of two fields and d each field is refreshed at a rate of 60 times per second, which is fast enough to avoid perception of flicker Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 26
27 1. Lag Lag means that each new TV image actually contains residual image information from the last several frames Lag is good and bad Lag acts to smooth the quantum noise in the image, but can also cause motion blurring Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 27
28 1. Video Resolution Spatial resolution of a video in the vertical direction (top to bottom) of the TV image is governed by the number of scan lines By convention, 525 lines are used in N. America for TV 490 lines usable In the early days of TV, a man named Kell determined that about 70% of theoretical video resolution is appreciated visually, and this psychophysical effect is now called the Kell factor 490 x 0.7 = 343 lines or 172 line pairs useful for resolution For 9 field, resolution = 172 lp/229 mm = 0.75 lp/mm 17 cm or 7 field, resolution is 1.0 lp/mm 12 cm or 5 field, resolution is 1.4 lp/mm Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 28
29 1. Video Resolution The horizontal resolution is determined by how fast the video electronics ectronics can respond to changes in light intensity This is influenced by the camera, the cable, the monitor but the horizontal resolution is governed by the bandwidth of the system The time necessary to scan each video line (525 lines at 30 frame/sec) is 63 µsec 11 µsec required for horizontal retrace, 52 µsec available To achieve 172 cycles in 52 msec, the bandwidth required is 172 cycles/52 x 10-6 sec = 3.3 x 10 6 cycles/sec = 3.3 MHz Higher bandwidths are required for high-line video systems Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 29
30 1. Raphex 2001 Diagnostic Question D29. The maximum resolution of fluoroscopy images displayed on television in the 6" field of view with a 1024 line system with a Kell factor of 0.7 is about lp/mm. A. 0.7 B. 1.2 C. 1.8 D. 2.4 E x 0.7 = 717 lines or 358 line pairs useful for resolution For 6 field, resolution = 358 lp/6 *25.4 mm = 2.35 lp/mm Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 30
31 1. Take Home Points Fluoroscopy is a live imaging procedure Image Intensifier main component and consists of the input phosphor, hor, electronic lens system and output phosphor Input phosphor Cesium Iodide, converts x-rays x to light Photocathode converts light into electrons Output phosphor Zinc cadmium sulphide, converts electrons into light Artifacts pincushion distortion, veiling glare, lag Brightness gain = minification gain x electronic (flux) gain Several magnification modes available, typically exposure rate increases i with magnification Video camera produces the electronic image which we see on the TV T monitor Use interlaced scanning to avoid flicker Horizontal (determined by bandwidth) and vertical (determined by the number of scan lines) video resolution Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 31
32 Flat Panel Digital Fluoroscopy Flat panel devices are thin film transistor (TFT) arrays that are rectangular in format and are used as x-ray x detectors CsI, a scintillator is used to convert the incident x-ray x beam into light TFT systems have a photodiode at each detector element which converts light energy to an electronic signal Flat panel detectors would replace the image intensifier, video camera, and other peripheral devices c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging, 2 nd ed., p Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 32
33 Peripheral Equipment Photo-spot camera used to generate images on photographic film, 100-mm cut film or 105- mm roll film full resolution of the II system, hardly seen nowadays Digital photo-spot high resolution, slow-scan scan TV cameras in which the TV signal is digitized and stored in computer memory Or CCD cameras with or pixel formats near-instantaneous viewing of the image on a video monitor allows the fluoroscopist to put together a number of images to demonstrate the anatomy important to the diagnosis digital images can be printed on a laser imager Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 33
34 Peripheral Equipment Spot-film devices attaches to the front of the II, and produces conventional radiographic screen-film images better resolution than images produced by II Cine-radiography cameras attaches to a port and can record a very rapid sequence of images s on 35- mm film used in cardiac studies, 30 frames/sec to 120 frames/sec or higher uses very short radiographic pulses digital cine are typically CCD-based cameras that produce a rapid sequence of digital images instead of film sequence Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 34
35 Fluoroscopy Modes of Operation Continuous fluoroscopy continuously on x-ray x beam, ma or higher display at 30 frames/sec, 33 msec/frame acquisition time blurring present due to patient motion, acceptable 10 R/min is the maximum legal limit High dose rate fluoroscopy specially activated fluoroscopy 20 R/min is the maximum legal limit audible signal required to sound used for obese patients Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 35
36 Fluoroscopy Modes of Operation Pulsed fluoro: series of short x-ray x pulses, 30 pulses at ~10 msec per pulse exposure time is shorter, reduces blurring from patient motion Can be used where object motion is high, e.g., positioning catheters ters in highly pulsatile vessels 15 frames/sec, 7.5 frames/sec also available Variable frame pulsed fluoroscopy is instrumental in reducing dose Ex., initially guiding the catheter up from the femoral artery to the aortic arch does not require high temporal resolution and 7.5 frames/sec c could potentially be used instead of 30 frames/sec 7.5 frames/sec instead of 30 frames/sec, dose savings of (7.5/30) ) 25% Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 36
37 Frame Averaging Fluoroscopy systems provide excellent temporal resolution However, fluoroscopy images are relatively noisy, and in some applications it is beneficial to compromise temporal resolution for lower noise images This can be achieved by averaging a series of images or frames Real-time averaging in the computer memory for display Can cause noticeable image lag but noise in image is reduced as well Could also reduce dose in some circumstances c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging, 2 nd ed., p Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 37
38 Last-Frame Hold Last-frame hold when the fluoroscopist takes his or her foot off the fluoroscopy pedal, rather than seeing a blank monitor, last-frame frame-hold enables the last live image to be shown continuously useful at training institutions no unnecessary radiation used on patient Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 38
39 Road Mapping Road Mapping software-enhanced enhanced variant of the last-frame frame-hold feature side-by by-side video monitors, one shows captured image, the other live image In angiography, subtracted image can be overlayed over live image e to give the angiographer a vascular road map right on the fluoroscopy image is useful for advancing catheters through tortuous vessels Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 39
40 Automatic Brightness Control The purpose of the automatic brightness control (ABC) is to keep the brightness of the image constant at monitor It does this by regulating the x-ray x exposure rate (control kvp, ma or both) Automatic brightness control triggers with changing patient size and field modes Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 40
41 Automatic Brightness Control The top curve increases ma more rapidly than kv as a function of patient thickness, and preserves subject contrast at the expense of higher dose The bottom curve increases kv more rapidly than ma with increasing patient thickness, and results in lower dose, but lower contrast as well c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging, 2 nd ed., p Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 41
42 Raphex 2003 Diagnostic Question D36. A 9-in. 9 multi-mode mode image intensifier (II) is switched to the 6-in. 6 mode. As a result, the image will be, and the automatic brightness control system (ABC) will the exposure to the II and the t patient. A. magnified, decrease B. magnified, increase C. minified, increase D. magnified, not change E. minified, decrease Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 42
43 Raphex 2000 Diagnostic Question D30. Pulsed fluoroscopy at 15 fps is utilized primarily to.. A. Reduce motion blur. B. Increase kw rating. C. Increase kvp stabilization. D. Reduce focal spot sizes. E. Reduce patient dose. Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 43
44 Image Quality Spatial Resolution A 2D image really has 3 dimensions: height, width, and gray scale Height and width are spatial and have units such as millimeters The classic notion of spatial resolution is the ability of an image system to distinctly depict two objects as they become smaller and closer together The closer together they are, with the image still showing them as separate objects, the better the spatial resolution At some point, the two objects become so close that they appear as one, and at this point, spatial resolution is lost Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 44
45 Image Quality Spatial Resolution The spatial domain simply refers to the two spatial dimensions of an image, width (x-dimension) and length (y-dimension) Another useful way to express the resolution of an imaging system m is to make use of the spatial frequency domain F (line pairs/mm or cycles/mm) =1/2,, where is the size of the object (mm) Smaller objects (small ) ) correspond to higher spatial frequencies and larger objects (large ) ) correspond to lower spatial frequencies So, objects that are 0.36 mm correspond to 1.4 lp/mm 0.19 mm corresponds to 2.7 lp/mm 1 mm correspond to 0.5 lp/mm Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 45
46 Image Quality Spatial Resolution Spatial frequency is just another way of thinking of object size A device used to measure the spatial resolution is the bar pattern c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR Medical Imaging, 2 nd ed., p
47 Image Quality Spatial Resolution The modulation transfer function, MTF of an image system is a very complete description of the resolution properties of an imaging system The MTF illustrates the fraction (or percentage) of an object s contrast that is recorded by the imaging system, as a function of the size (i.e., spatial frequency) of the object The limiting spatial resolution is the size of the smallest object that an imaging system can resolve The limiting resolution of modern image intensifiers is between 4 and 5 cycles/mm c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical cycles/mm Imaging, 2 nd ed., p Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 47
48 Image Quality Contrast Resolution The ability to detect a low-contrast object on an image is highly related to how much noise (quantum noise and otherwise) there is in the image The ability to visualize low-contrast objects is the essence of contrast resolution. Better contrast resolution implies that more subtle objects can be routinely seen on the image The contrast resolution of fluoroscopy is low by comparison to radiography, r because the low exposure levels produce images with relatively low l signal- to-noise ratio (SNR) Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 48
49 Image Quality Contrast Resolution Contrast resolution is increased when higher exposure rates are used, but the disadvantage is more radiation dose to the patient Fluoroscopic systems with different dose settings allow the user flexibility from patient to patient to adjust the compromise between contrast resolution and patient exposure Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 49
50 Image Quality Temporal Resolution Fluoroscopy has excellent temporal resolution, that is over time Blurring in the time domain is typically called image lag Lag implies that a fraction of the image data from one frame carries ries over into the next frame Video cameras such as the vidicon demonstrate a fair amount of lagl Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 50
51 Image Quality Temporal Resolution Lag in general is undesirable, beneficial for DSA Frame averaging improves contrast resolution at the expense of temporal t resolution With DSA and digital cine, cameras with low-lag lag performance (plumbicons or CCD cameras) are used to maintain temporal resolution Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 51
52 Raphex 2003 Diagnostic Question D37. For fluoroscopy performed in the 6-in. 6 II mode and displayed on a 525 line TV monitor, spatial resolution is most limited by the.. A. Scatter from the patient B. Grid C. II tube D. Optical system E. TV system Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 52
53 Fluoroscopy Suites Gastrointestinal Suites R and F room, large table that can be rotated from horizontal to vertical to put the patient in a head-down down or head-up position II above or under the table, spot film device usually there Remote Fluoroscopy Rooms Designed for remote operation by the radiologist Tube above table, II under table Reduce dose to the physician and no lead apron needed c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging, 2 nd ed., p Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 53
54 Fluoroscopy Suites Peripheral Angiography Suites Table floats, allows patient to be moved from side to side and head to toe C-arm or U-arm U configuration 30 to 40 cm image intensifier used Power injectors are normally ceiling- or table-mounted Cardiology Catheterization Suite Similar to angiography suite, 23 cm II used to permit more tilt in cranial caudal direction Cine cameras used, biplane rooms common c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging, 2 nd ed., p Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 54
55 Fluoroscopy Suites Biplane Angiographic Systems Two complete x-ray x tube/ii systems used, PA and Lateral Simultaneous acquisition of 2 views allows a reduction of the volume of contrast media injected in patient Portable Fluoroscopy- C Arms C-Arm devices with an x-ray x tube placed opposite from the II 18-cm (7-inch) and 23-cm (9-inch) and several other field sizes available Operating rooms and ICUs c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging, 2 nd ed., p Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 55
56 Radiation Dose Patient Dose The maximum exposure rate permitted in the US is governed by the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and is overseen by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), a branch of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) The maximum legal entrance exposure rate for normal fluoroscopy to the patient is 10 R/min For specially activated fluoroscopy, the maximum exposure rate allowable a is 20 R/min Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 56
57 Radiation Dose Patient Dose Typical entrance exposure rates for fluoroscopic imaging are About 1 to 2 R/min for thin (10- cm) body parts 3 to 5 R/min for the average patient 8 to 10 R/min for the heavy patient Maximum dose at 120 kvp for most vendors c.f. Bushberg, et al. The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging, 2 nd ed., p Kalpana M. Kanal, Ph.D., DABR 57
58 Dose to Personnel Rule of Thumb: standing 1 m from the patient, the fluoroscopist receives from scattered radiation (on the outside of apron) approximately 1/1,000 of the exposure incident upon the patient The scatter field incident upon the radiologist while performing a fluoroscopic procedure is shown A radiologist of average height, 178 cm (5 10 ) is shown overlaid on the graph and key anatomic levels are indicated c.f.
