Spot Film Devices

Spot film devices are used to create permanent images during radiographic examinations, positioned between the patient and the image intensifier. They allow for quick exposure of fluoroscopic appearances, particularly in gastrointestinal examinations, and can operate with both single holder and casetless methods. The operation involves switching off fluoroscopy, moving the cassette to the exposure site, and boosting tube film current for effective imaging.

SPOT FILMS DEVICES

Used to make permanent images during the


radiographic examination.
Film is positioned b/w the patient and the
image intensifier.
When the film is needed, the radiologist
actuates the control that brings the cassette
in position. This changes the tube from
fluoroscopic mA to radiographic mA.
During fluoroscopy, the tube is operated at
less than 5 mA.
There is also a Spot film camera that operates
similar to a movie camera except that it
exposes only one frame at a time.
SPOT FILM DEVICE
The purpose of the spot film device is to
allow film of the fluoroscopic appearances
to be expose quickly particularly in the
gastrointestinal examination
SINGLE HOLDER FILM
Single holder spot film device is very
simple and seen in most of the
departments, it accept one cassette at a
given time, until the cassette is not
removed from the tray
Here cassette is removed manually
But several exposure can be made on the
film
Operator is able to expose a cassette
using any of several format
FEATURES
A secondary gird, fine line gird is used it
of moving Varity

A lead mask, or a slide it is about 10-12


cm long

Compression cone, cassette tray


Spot Film Device
OPERATION OF THE SPOT
FILM DEVICE
Cassette must move to exposure site
quickly
Fluoroscopy must be switch off
Tube rotation must reach to its full speed
for the radiography
Tube film current must be boosted to the
higher level 200-300
Change focal spot
CASSETTELESS SPOT FILM
DEVICE
Equipment for fluoroscopy is available in
which system of the magazines provide a
cassette less method for the spot filming
to record the fluoroscopic appearances,
An important advantage of this system is
the speed of the film in making the record
since the films can be changed
automatically at much faster rates
Cassette less spot film devices
Tables, two types in one type table image
intensifier and TV pick up tube is mounted
above the x ray table, in other table
these system is mounted under the x ray
table
FILM MAGAZINE AND THE
TRANSPORT
Supply magazine to hold the film befour
the exposure these are loaded under safe
light in the dark room
An exposure area where the film is
position for the exposure is mounted by
the intensifying screen
Here different film format can be achieved
A secondary radiation gird(10: i)
A receiving magazine in to which film is
passed offer the exposure, when it full
indictor lamb gives a signal it is taken to
the dark room for unloading
A transport system to transport the films
form one magazine to the other magazine
Capacity of all the magazine is about the
50 films
identification
Important points on transporting
the film
Should arrive quickly as possible, with out
the need less delay

When the exposure begins the film should


be motion less

The faster the film travels the longer is the


time required to halt it
