Image intensifier tomofluorography. Experimental evaluation and clinical potentialities.
Caesium iodide image intensifier tubes have improved the image quality of 70- and 100-mm fluorograms. It is possible to produce tomograms with satisfactory resolution ability in 100-mm film. The geometry and distortion of the tomographic image recorded by an image intensifier with spherical input phosphor are presented from the theoretical and practical points of view. It is concluded that 100-mm tomofluorograph is a useful method, particularly in connection with TV tomofluoroscopy and TV tomometry.
