Which is the maximum tabletop exposure allowed for a fluoroscopic unit?

The maximum tabletop exposure allowed for a fluoroscopic unit is 10 R/min. This limit is set to ensure patient safety by controlling the amount of radiation that patients are exposed to during fluoroscopic procedures. High levels of radiation exposure can lead to adverse health effects, including increased risk of cancer and radiation burns.

By maintaining the tabletop exposure at a maximum of 10 R/min, regulatory bodies aim to minimize unnecessary radiation dose and promote safer practices in medical imaging. This standard reflects a balance between providing adequate imaging quality and protecting patients from excessive radiation exposure.
