Abstract
When attempting to optimize radiation use during a fluoroscopic procedure, the aim is to acquire images that adequately address the needs of the different tasks which together comprise the procedure. Naturally, each procedure and its different segments may yield a variety of needs and related images. Ideally, these images should possess just enough information to adequately address the uncertainties of the task at hand. While complex tasks might justify acquiring high quality images with their minimal uncertainty, low quality images with their higher uncertainty, are often sufficient for simple tasks. This shift in perspective indicates a need to focus on the factors that govern the clinical utility of images rather than the more traditional concept of image quality.
期刊介绍：
CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology (CVIR) is the official journal of the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe, and is also the official organ of a number of additional distinguished national and international interventional radiological societies. CVIR publishes double blinded peer-reviewed original research work including clinical and laboratory investigations, technical notes, case reports, works in progress, and letters to the editor, as well as review articles, pictorial essays, editorials, and special invited submissions in the field of vascular and interventional radiology. Beside the communication of the latest research results in this field, it is also the aim of CVIR to support continuous medical education. Articles that are accepted for publication are done so with the understanding that they, or their substantive contents, have not been and will not be submitted to any other publication.
