TOMOSCOPY AND RELATED MATTERS

W. E. CRYSLER M.D

Tomoscopy is presented as a method of rapidly localizing by remote control the plane of interest for tomography using the amplifier-television-monitor chain with the amplifier attached to the Bucky assembly. The method has the outstanding advantage of producing roentgenograms rich in contrast and detail because of the close collimation which is achieved during the fluoroscopic and tomoscopic procedures.

It results in a significant reduction in time required for examination, and also reduces the number of exposures. It does not significantly add to the patient dose and in fact in many cases dosage is reduced. Before commencing the procedure it is necessary to study the part to be investigated and to prescribe the tomographic mode to be used, the number of tomograms which will be necessary and the exposure factors.

Future applications include improved fidelity of amplifier-tube-monitor chain, edge enhancement, tube storage and electronic clean-up.
