Fluoroscopy operators should minimize the use of which mode due to high radiation exposure per frame?

Cine mode should be minimized by fluoroscopy operators due to its high radiation exposure per frame. In cine mode, a series of images are captured at a high frame rate to create a motion sequence, resulting in a significantly increased radiation dose as the machine continuously exposes the patient to radiation to obtain these multiple images. This is in contrast to other modes such as pulse mode, where radiation is emitted in short bursts, or live mode, where radiation is used continuously but typically at a lower exposure setting than cine. Static mode involves capturing a single image at a time, which inherently reduces radiation exposure compared to the continuous imaging of cine mode. The emphasis on reducing the use of cine mode is an important safety consideration for both patients and staff involved in fluoroscopic procedures.
