Radiographer

X-ray photographer - see Fluorograph.

Fluorography is a method of x-ray examination in which an image is taken on x-ray film, allowing one to obtain an image of the internal organs and tissues of a person. Fluorography is used for early detection of diseases such as tuberculosis, lung cancer, pneumonia and others.

Fluorography differs from conventional radiography in that it uses a lower dose of radiation, as well as the ability to simultaneously examine large groups of people.

Typically, fluorography is performed once every 1-2 years for preventive purposes. The study takes about 15 minutes and does not require special preparation.
