This study presents the results from a survey conducted by the Greek Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC), during the period 1998-2003, in 530 public and private owned fluoroscopic X-ray systems in Greece. Certain operational parameters for conventional and remote control systems were assessed, according to a quality control protocol developed by GAEC on the basis of the current literature. Public (91.5%) and private (81.5%) owned fluoroscopic units exhibit high-contrast resolution values over 1 lp mm(-1). Moreover, 88.5 and 87.1% of the fluoroscopic units installed in the public and private sector, respectively, present Maximum Patient Entrance Kerma Rate values lower than 100 mGy min(-1). Additionally, 68.3% of the units assessed were found to perform within the acceptance limits. Finally, the third quartile of the Entrance Surface Dose Rate distribution was estimated according to the Dose Reference Level definition and found equal to 35 mGy min(-1).
本研究展示了希腊原子能委员会（GAEC）在1998年至2003年期间，对希腊530台公立和私立荧光透视X射线系统进行调查的结果。根据GAEC依据当前文献制定的质量控制方案，对传统系统和遥控系统的某些运行参数进行了评估。公立（91.5%）和私立（81.5%）荧光透视设备的高对比度分辨率值超过1 lp mm⁻¹。此外，分别安装在公共部门和私营部门的荧光透视设备中，88.5%和87.1%的设备的最大患者入口比释动能率值低于100 mGy min⁻¹。此外，评估的设备中有68.3%被发现运行在验收限度内。最后，根据剂量参考水平定义估算了入射表面剂量率分布的第三四分位数，结果为35 mGy min⁻¹。
