Abstract
The results from a survey in 297 (46 % of the total) fluoroscopie X ray facilities in the private sector in Greece are presented. Certain fluoroscopic parameters for under-table tube and remote control over-table tube fluoroscopic systems have been evaluated, according to a specific quality control protocol and compared with acceptance limits. The results show that the overall performance of the fluoroscopic systems is below optimal, since only 55.5% of the fluoroscopic systems performed satisfactorily and in compliance with the radiation protection regulations. Remote control over-table tube fluoroscopic systems had much better performance characteristics than under-table tube systems, with respect to patient dose and image quality. A system of routine servicing as well as implementation of quality control on a regular basis are believed substantially to reduce variation fron the normal performance and system malfunctioning.
