Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy is an x-ray examination method that is used to diagnose diseases of the lungs and chest. It uses X-rays to create images on special film or a digital sensor.

Fluoroscopy is one of the most common methods for diagnosing lung diseases. It allows you to quickly and effectively detect various diseases, such as tuberculosis, pneumonia, lung cancer and others.

One of the main advantages of fluoroscopy is its low cost and ease of implementation. It only takes a few minutes and results can be seen within a few days.

However, despite all the advantages, fluoroscopy has its disadvantages. Firstly, it can cause some discomfort in patients, especially when performed outdoors. Secondly, it cannot always accurately identify all lung diseases, especially in the early stages.

In general, fluoroscopy is an important method for diagnosing diseases of the lungs and chest organs. It allows you to quickly and accurately identify various diseases and carry out treatment in the early stages, which increases the effectiveness of treatment and reduces the risk of complications.

Fluoroscopy is a method of x-ray examination that involves photographing an image obtained on a fluorescent screen.

Fluoroscopy was developed in 1906 by the French physicist A. Becquerel, who was the first to use this phenomenon to detect X-rays.

Fluoroscopy can detect pathological changes in the chest organs that are not visible with conventional radiography. Fluorography can detect tumors, tuberculosis, pneumonia, bronchitis and other diseases.

Fluoroscopy is performed using a special device called a fluorograph. The patient lies down on the table, and the radiologist takes pictures of the chest from different sides. The pictures are then processed on a computer to produce a clearer image.

It is important to note that fluoroscopy is one of the most accessible methods for diagnosing lung diseases, but its use is limited due to the potential risk of patient exposure to radiation. Therefore, fluoroscopy should be performed only when indicated and in compliance with all safety measures.
