What happens to resolution when we increase magnification?

When magnification is increased in fluoroscopy, the resolution typically decreases. This occurs because magnification enlarges the image, which can also enlarge any existing noise or blurriness, ultimately leading to a degradation in the clarity of the image.

In fluoroscopic imaging, the effective pixel size increases as the area being imaged is magnified. If the detector resolution remains constant, the larger image can show more details theoretically, but imperfections in the imaging system or the increased pixel size can lead to a loss of detail and reduction in overall image quality.

Thus, while magnification can help visualize details more clearly, the impact on resolution is generally negative due to the factors mentioned, leading to the conclusion that resolution decreases with increased magnification.
