The imaging tools available for performing fluoroscopically-guided interventions have evolved rapidly in the last decade. Volumetric imaging is now commonplace, and the operating logic of modern fluoroscopic equipment is rapidly outpacing the methods commonly used to evaluate its performance, and will soon defy traditional attempts at performance characterization. The aim of this two part mini course is to review the history of fluoroscopic imaging equipment to understand how we ended up with many of the regulations with which we must comply today, to look at the present and future technology of equipment used to perform fluoroscopically-guided interventions, to review some of the state of the art technology available to optimize radiation dose and image quality, and finally to discuss how physicists might adapt to this changing environment.
The learning objectives of the second session in this mini-course are:
1. To review advances in radiation dose monitoring and management
2. To understand 2D and 3D image guidance for interventional procedures
3. To learn about acceptance and acceptability testing of modern fluoroscopy equipment from image quality and dosimetry perspectives
