Development of a Dedicated X-Ray Fluoroscopic Apparatus for Therapeutic Pancreatobiliary Endoscopy: A Review.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, pancreaticobiliary endoscopy (PBE) has evolved to include a wide range of endoscopic procedures used to treat various diseases. Several interventional endoscopic ultrasonography procedures have been developed for conditions that cannot be treated with conventional endoscopic methods. As PBE continues to advance, it is crucial to improve fluoroscopic systems to enhance image quality, ensure patient safety, reduce radiation exposure, and ensure the operation of video-recording systems. The difficult procedures require the precise imaging of thin pancreatic/biliary branch devices, including guidewires, catheters, and stents. It is crucial to reduce noise caused by patient breathing and movement, while retaining the necessary movement in the image on the screen. A stable table
