Normal Fluoro Imaging; High Level Fluoro Imaging - GE Brivo OEC 715 Operator's Manual

5.2.1. Normal Fluoro Imaging

Normal fluoro mode displays live fluoroscopic images on the left monitor. After the image has been
acquired, image attributes such as edge enhancement or contrast and brightness can be modified.
To produce a normal fluoro image
1. Verify Fluoro is displayed on the status bar.
2. Select pulsed X-Ray or low dose if desired. Use the C-Arm Pulse key
continuous and pulsed X-Rays. Use the C-Arm Low Dose key to switch between continuous and low
dose imaging.
3. Press the left X-Ray switch

5.2.2. High Level Fluoro Imaging

High Level Fluoro (HLF) mode is used for getting high quality images. High Level Fluoro mode decreases
noise level and improves image quality by increasing fluoroscopic mA.
High Level Fluoro Imaging can subject the patient and those working around the X-Ray
field to a significantly larger dose of radiation than they would receive during normal fluoro

operation. To minimize X-Ray exposure hazards, use High Level Fluoro Mode with
discretion.
For each HLF shot, please limit the X-Ray time within 20". Otherwise, the system will
terminate X-Ray automatically. If you need more HLF time, please release the

foot/handswitch and re-press it.
To produce a High Level Fluoro image
1. Verify HLF is displayed on the status bar. If Dig. Spot is displayed, use the Mode Setup screen to select
HLF.
2. Select pulsed X-Ray generation on C-Arm control panel, if desired. If pulsed operation is chosen, the
pulse rate is displayed on the status bar. Use the C-Arm Low Dose key to switch between continuous
and low dose imaging.
3. Press the right X-Ray switch
