Equipment Operation and Maintenance
2
Grid-controlled tube Designed to turn on and off rapidly, providing short precise exposures Use in fluoro and in capacitor discharged (condenser-discharge) mobile units Uses a molybdenum focusing cup
3
FLUOROSCOPY INPUT PHOSPHOR –LARGE DIAMETER –CESIUM IODIDE –X-RAYS LIGHT PHOTOCATHODE –LIGHT ELECTRONS OUTPUT PHOSPOR –SMALLER DIAMETER –ELECTRONS LIGHT
4
FLUORO CONT. FOCUSSING LENSES VIDICOM/PLUMBICON BEAM SPLITTING DEVICE mA ABS AGC or ABC
5
FLUX GAIN = # OF OUTPUT LIGHT PHOTONS # OF INPUT LIGHT PHOTONS MINIFICATION GAIN = Diameter of input (squared) diameter of output (squared BRIGHTNESS GAIN: minification x flux
6
Trifield Tubes 25/17/12 smaller diameter of input phosphor reduces: field of view magnification minification gain dimmer image
7
Larger film format greater the # of films =higher patient exposure Cinefluoroscopy –rapidly obtained photospot image (35mm film)15,30,60,90 frames per sec. –cardiac cath Spot film –12 frames per sec –smaller film size cassette loaded
8
FLUORO QUESTIONS #9,24,30,36,38,40,44,47,54 63, 69,70
9
AEC

CIRCUITS
13
Self induction = autotransformer and choke coil Mutual induction =High voltage transformer & filament circuit V = V S = N S V P = N P I = N S = I P N P= I S
14
Rectifiers Filament circuit rheostat filament circuit
15
Motor and generators Rheostat Star and wye configurations –transformer windings in 3-phase circuits –5,20,23,26,35,45,46,51,52,53,74,77
16
THREE PHASE/SINGLE PHASE HU single phase=ma x time x kvp three phase/ 6 pulse ma x time x kvp x 1.35 three phase/12 pulse ma x time x kvp x 1.41
17
VOLTAGE RIPPLE Single phase three phase 6 pulse three phase 12 pulse 100% 13% 4 or 3% ?’s 35,64,96,97,99,105, 106
