Can low dose fluoroscopic image replace conventional radiographic examinations?
The general answer is NO. An image recorded on film with a high-speed cassette provides a permanent record that can cover the necessary area, e.g. leg, spine. However, when high image detail is not required, for example in follow-up examinations in patients with scoliosis, leg length discrepancy, a stored pulsed fluoroscopic image using last-image-hold may be satisfactory.
