title: Video techniques for x-ray imaging and data extraction from roentgenographic and fluoroscopic presentations.
abstract: This review is concerned with the use of video-fluoroscopic images in diagnostic radiology. It particularly emphasizes the potential of such images for performing quantitative procedures such as used in pulmonary and cardiac assessment, evaluation of contrast differentials, and tomographic (including CT) applications. This article also attempts to determine limitations, capabilities, and required developments for both the present and future hardware systems. Most importantly this review attempts to assess the present state of the art and to analyze the reasons for the limited application of such techniques in current radiology operations.
