Abstract
Radiation doses of modern 100 mm fluorography and full-scale radiography were compared experimentally and applied to hysterosalpingography. The 100 mm fluorography reduced the doses by 28-29% per exposure and 37-47% per examination compared with full-scale radiography performed with fast tungstate screens in identical conditions (70-80 kV, 400 mA). The dose during 1 min of videofluoroscopy was equivalent to the doses produced by 1 exposure in full-scale filming and 3-4 exposures in 100 mm filming. Although electronic magnification in 100 mm fluorography increases the doses by 2- or 3-fold, these are still less than the doses in full-scale radiography.
