Image information acquired from image intensification device such as videotape videodisc, digital imaging and cinefluoroscopy.

Images acquired via analog techniques radiographic film/screen

• -Always fill syringe in the vertical position
• -Always fill syringe from the plunger pushed foward position
• -Always purge the air from syringe
• -

• Catheter length
• -The delivery rate is inversely prop. to the catheter the longer the catheter is the slower the delivery rate

• Catheter Diameter
• -The larger the catheter diameter the greater the delivery rate

• Catheter Holes
• -One end hole only vs many side holes
• the more holes to deliver the contrast the higher the delivery rate can increase rate from 10 - 20 5 with ea additional hole.

• Viscosity of CM
• -Decrease in viscosity increases the delivery rate

• 2. Syringe
• 3. Heating Device
• 4. Control for the syringe
• 5. High pressure plastic jacket

A group of expsures taken throughout an injection of contrast. Taken a various frame rates and should be considered when calculating patiens exposure.

• Converts the x-ray image to a brighter but smaller image on the phospor.
• Diffrent sizes common 6" or 9"
• larger 12" or 14"

KVP x mA x time x type of generator

• Single phase = 1
• Three phase (6pulse) = 1.36
• Three phase (12pulse) = 1.41
