How do you perform a spatial resolution test on fluoroscopy?

Performing a spatial resolution test on fluoroscopy is primarily done through the use of a line pair test. This method evaluates how well the imaging system can resolve two closely spaced lines, which is critical for determining the clarity and detail that can be discerned in the images produced by fluoroscopy.

The comparison of different magnification modes is also essential because spatial resolution can vary significantly depending on the magnification settings. Higher magnification often results in improved spatial resolution, which is vital for accurately diagnosing conditions based on the images obtained during fluoroscopic procedures.

This approach ensures that the performance of the fluoroscopic system is tested across different operational parameters, allowing practitioners to understand the system's limitations and strengths in detail visualization.
