🗑
During fluoroscopy the xray tube is operated at less than   5 mA  
🗑
The image intensifier improved fluoroscopy by increasing image   brightness  
🗑
Visual acuity in the eye is greater at the fovea centralis where   cones are concentrated  
🗑
The ability of the eye to detect differences in brightness levels vision is termed   contrast perception  
🗑

🗑
Xray that exit the patient during fluoroscopy first interact with the   input phospher  
🗑
The input phosphor convert xrays to   light; cesium iodide  
🗑
The number of light photons emitted within the image intensifier is directly proportional to the amount of xray photons   exiting the patient  
🗑
Light produced at the output phosphor has been increased   50-75 times in intensity  
🗑
The ratio of xrays incident on the input phosphor to light photons exiting the output phosphor is called   flux gain  
🗑
The ability of the image intensifier to increase the illumination level of the image is called the   brightness gain  
🗑
An image intensifier tube is identified by the diameter of the   input phosphor
