1941 Med. Jrnl. Austral. 1 266/1 Photofluorography opens up a new avenue of examination to the wage-earning class.
1974 Encycl. Brit. Macropædia XV. 462/2 Photofluorography and television observation can take place simultaneously by means of separate apertures, and thus observation of what is being photographed is achieved.
1988 Amer. Jrnl. Roentgenol. 150 539 Photofluorography with a large image intensifier, which provides an image field of 40 x 40 cm, reduces both the radiation dose and the imaging costs in chest radiography as compared with the film-screen technique.
2002 Amer. Jrnl. Industrial Med. 42 490 Stereoscopic photofluorography delivered a bone marrow dose nearly 100 times that delivered by today's chest X-ray technique.
