Fig. 1

Example of fluoroscopic images of the liver at 32 cm water value acquired with the detector dose-driven exposure control using the three detector dose levels (LD low dose, ND normal dose, HD high dose) in comparison with fluoroscopic images acquired with the Ta-specific contrast-to-noise ratio-driven exposure control at a comparable incident air kerma rate (dose equivalent Ta image). The first row shows the overview image (a) and the magnified reference image (b), which were acquired with digital radiography (DR). The iodine mixed with cyanoacrylate-filled vessels and the iodine-filled balloon are indicated by the open and closed arrow. The dotted arrow indicates the tantalum filled gastric and liver arteries.
