ABSTRACT:
An x-ray source assembly (28) includes an x-ray tube with an adjustably sized focal spot (22) for fluoroscopic viewing and radiographic recording. The x-ray source is spaced from an object to be imaged by a first distance (q). An x-ray image receptor assembly is position at a second distance (p-q) away from the object to be imaged. The second distance is greater than or equal to the first distance. A system (40) minifies electronic images from an image receptor (24) for fluoroscopic viewing and radiographic and cineradiographic image recording to a size that is approximately the size of the object being imaged. In this manner, the displayed images have a level of perceived detail that is substantially equal to images generated from radiation receptors positioned contiguous to the subject.
