Fluoroscopy: description of the method

Fluoroscopy is a diagnostic method that is used to examine the internal organs and tissues of the body using x-rays. It is based on the fact that X-rays pass through tissues and organs and are displayed on a special screen called a fluoroscope.

X-rays have a high penetrating power, which allows them to pass through soft tissue and bone. However, they cannot penetrate hard tissues such as teeth or bones. Therefore, other diagnostic methods such as computed tomography (CT) are used to examine teeth or bones.

During fluoroscopy, the patient lies on a table that can be tilted or rotated for a better view of the area being examined. Then, the doctor or radiologist points an X-ray machine at the area to be examined and takes pictures.

After the pictures are taken, they are displayed on a fluoroscope and analyzed by a doctor. The doctor can see various structures and abnormalities on the screen that may indicate the presence of disease or injury.

In conclusion, fluoroscopy is an important diagnostic method that allows the doctor to obtain information about the condition of the patient’s internal organs and tissues.

Fluoroscopy is the study of certain areas of the human or animal body using x-rays. This research method requires more careful preparation than conventional radiography and is more informative.

Fluoroscopy is often called fluoroscopy due to
