References Questions: (As submitted to AAPM Spring Clinical Meeting) Which statement is true regarding the relationship between decreasing field of view and increased patient dose rate for flat panel fluoroscopy systems? a) The size of the output phosphor is constant. b) Decreasing minifaction gain requires increase tube output. c) Detector target dose remains constant for all FOV. d) As the FOV gets smaller, local photon density increases. e) Use of secondary collimators results in increased patient dose.
