Fluoroscopy: History & Applications

Fluoroscopy (/flʊəˈrɒskəpi/), informally referred to as "fluoro", is an imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of the interior of an object. In its primary application of medical imaging, a fluoroscope (/ˈflʊərəˌskoʊp/) allows a surgeon to see the internal structure and function of a patient, so that the pumping action of…
