Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)
1. An audible timer is equipped on a fluoroscopic unit to sound off when 5 minutes of fluoroscopic time (actual time of radiation exposure to the patient) has elapsed. 2. Brightness control or image illumination is maintained as the kVp and mA self-adjust during the fluoroscopic procedure. 3. This low range of kVp is attributable to the increase in time (minutes) of actual radiation. 4. The fluoroscopic system is a fixed unit consisting of several components working together to provide static images for viewing. 5. Automatic gain control (AGC) refers to fluoroscopic image brightness.
