Definitie & Betekenis van "fluoroscopy"

What is "fluoroscopy"?

Fluoroscopy is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to create continuous video images of the inside of the body. During the procedure, a special X-ray machine takes ongoing X-ray images while a special dye is used to make certain areas more visible. These images are shown on a monitor, allowing doctors to see and check the movement and function of organs, bones, and other structures as they happen. Fluoroscopy is commonly used for examining the digestive system, helping certain medical procedures, and evaluating joint and bone issues.
