Bucky
A Bucky is a component of x-ray units that holds the x-ray film cassette and moves the grid during x-ray exposure. The motion keeps the lead strips from being seen on the x-ray picture.
The name refers to Dr. Gustave Bucky who invented the use of filter grids in 1913.

Cinefluorography
A cinefluorography produces a movie (cine) film from an image intensifier during x-rays examinations (often called videofluorography, cineradiography or cine). Cinefluorography is always monitored on the TV screen normally used for fluoroscopy. The image from the output screen of the image intensifier is split with a semi-transparent mirror into two output ports; one leading to the movie camera and the other to the fluoroscopy camera. Most of the light is directed to the cine camera. The image on the monitor does not suffer in quality due to the fact that the tube current for cinefluorography is about 100 times higher than for common fluoroscopy.
The x-ray generator pulses are synchronized with the movements of the cine camera, so that no x-rays are emitted when the film is moved forward to the next frame. The needed very accurate synchronization of the x-ray generator can be achieved by use of high voltage switching in the secondary circuit of the constant potential x-ray generator, by starting and stopping the inverter in a medium frequency generator or by using a grid controlled x-ray tube.
Image Resolution
Image resolution is a measurement of the scanned, printed, or displayed image quality. Picture resolution on a printed photo or page is measured in dots per inch (DPI). For digital files, image resolution is expressed in pixels per inch (PPI).
The quality of pixel-based images is directly determined by resolution choices. Higher image resolution results in more detailed images but requires more storage space in a picture archiving and communication system.
The resolution for x-ray images can be defined as the period length of the finest grid that can be viewed without difficulty.
