In what unit is fluoro time measured?

Fluoro time is measured in roentgen per minute. This unit indicates the amount of ionizing radiation exposure produced in a fluoroscopy procedure over a specified duration.

During fluoroscopy, the physician navigates real-time imaging, which involves the continuous use of X-rays. The roentgen is a recognized unit in radiology that reflects the intensity of radiation affecting a specified volume of air, providing a quantifiable measure of exposure during fluoroscopic imaging.

The other units mentioned serve different purposes within radiological practices. Millisieverts and sieverts are measures of effective dose and biological impact, whereas grays represent the absorbed dose in tissues. These factors are essential when considering radiation protection and patient safety, but they do not apply directly to measuring fluoro time itself like the roentgen per minute does.
