Focal spot blooming is a phenomenon in imaging, particularly in radiography and fluoroscopy, that refers to the increase in the apparent size of the focal spot in the images produced. This effect can occur as a result of various factors, such as the quality of the X-ray equipment, the geometry of the beam, the energy levels used, and the characteristics of the detector or imaging system.
