[Clinical testing of an image memory in peroperative roentgen diagnosis].

The relatively high radiation exposure when applying mobile X-ray image intensifiers to surgical radiology can be distinctly reduced by the ultilzation of an electronic image memory, which makes visible as long as you like the last fluoroscopic image of a fluoroscopic scene on the viewing monitor without switching on the X-ray tube. As an average over various surgical examinations, the dose reduction compared with facilities lacking these image memories amounts to about 30%.
