What device is located between the image intensifier and the television camera system to maintain brightness?

The device that is located between the image intensifier and the television camera system to maintain brightness is the automatic brightness stabilizer. This critical component functions to ensure that the image brightness remains consistent regardless of variations in patient thickness or density, which can affect the quality of the fluoroscopic image. By automatically adjusting the intensity of the x-rays and/or the gain of the video signal, the automatic brightness stabilizer enhances the overall quality of the images produced, making them clearer and more useful for diagnostic purposes. This mechanism is essential for providing improved contrast and visibility, which aids healthcare professionals in making accurate assessments during procedures.
