What setting must the radiation exposure be at for the pulsed mode to effectively reduce dose?

For pulsed mode to effectively reduce the dose during fluoroscopy, it must be set at a low frame rate. In this mode, the radiation beam is activated only intermittently rather than continuously. A low frame rate means that the system captures fewer images per second, which significantly decreases the cumulative amount of radiation exposure to the patient. This is essential in fluoroscopic procedures, as minimizing radiation exposure while still obtaining necessary diagnostic information is a key goal in radiology. A low frame rate maximizes the time between pulses, thus achieving reduced radiation dose while still enabling adequate imaging for clinical purposes.
