1- COURSE OBJECTIVE :
To teach the student to use and monitor the performance
of fluoroscopic equipment, image intensifier and T.V chain
together with the associate image recording techniques with
reference to the examination most commonly undertaken with
this equipment.
2- COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Give a broad overview of the basic elements contained
in the course . The course introduces students to the equipment
used in fluoroscopy , including the image intensifier , television
chain viewing and recording system . Examinations for which
fluoroscopy is particularly appropriate are dealt with . The
course deals with the techniques for examinations of the gastro
intestinal tract , cystography , sialography ,
hyserosalpingography , , the biliary tract . Special emphais is
paid to the care of the patient before , during and after the
examination.
3- INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES:
By the end of this course, the students will be able to:
1- Describe the equipment necessary to perform conventional
fluoroscopy .
2- Explain how image intensification occurs, and describe the
equipment required to procuce image intensification and the
television image.
3- Explain how the vidicon camera and the cathode ray tube
work in the production of the visual television image .
4- Operate the fluoroscopic unit and select appropriate exposure
and screening factors.
5- State the contrast media used for the gastro-intestinal tract ,
cystourography , the biliary tract , hystrosalpingography and
sialography .
4- OUTLINE OF COURSE CONTENTENTS :
1- Fluorescence and fluorescent material in radiology .
2- Image intensifiers : construction and operation and advantage
over conventional fluoroscope.
3- C-Arm and advantages.
4- Radiation hazard and radiation protection during fluoroscopy
5- Contrast media for G.S.T and pharmacological agents.
6- The gastro intestinal tract : Barium swallow, meal , follow
through and enema.
7- Sialography contrast media, technique and film reading.
8- Cystourography contrast media, technique and film reading.
9- Biliary tract : operative, post operative and T-Tube
cholangiogram and ERCP.
10-Hysterosalpingography : contrast media, technique and film
reading .
