Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using intermittent fluoro will help reduce patient dosage during a fluoroscopic procedure in surgery. When intermittent fluoroscopy is used, the x-ray beam is turned off between exposures, which reduces the overall dose to the patient. Increasing mA or placing the x-ray tube above the patient may increase dosage, and decreasing kV may not significantly reduce patient dosage.
