Methods to reduce fluoroscopic radiation exposure include:
1)automatic brightness control
2)Bucky tray slot cover
3)switching to magnification imaging
4)fluoroscopic lead apron drape
5)dead-man type fluoroscopy switch
6)LIH
7)increase the SID
8)decrease the SOD
9)decrease the IOD

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Choice B includes all of the correct methods to reduce fluoroscopic radiation exposure, including automatic brightness control, Bucky tray slot cover, fluoroscopic lead apron drape, dead-man type fluoroscopy switch, and LIH, as well as switching to magnification imaging and decreasing the IOD. Choice A is incorrect because it does not include switching to magnification imaging or using a dead-man switch. Choice C is incorrect because it includes magnification imaging and LIH which are not effective methods for reducing fluoroscopic radiation exposure. Choice D is incorrect because it includes an incorrect method (decreasing SOD) and does not include switching to magnification imaging or using a dead-man switch.
