Fluoroscopy-guided pediatric cardiac interventional procedures require high-quality X-ray imaging systems to ensure accurate visualization of anatomical structures and devices. This article explores the importance of physical image quality metrics in assessing the performance of X-ray systems utilized in pediatric cardiac interventions. Various quantitative parameters, including spatial resolution, noise characteristics, contrast-to-noise ratio, and radiation dose metrics, are discussed in the context of optimizing image quality while minimizing radiation exposure to pediatric patients. Understanding and implementing these metrics are essential for enhancing procedural outcomes and ensuring patient safety in pediatric cardiac interventions.
